Walsingham Catholic Shrine.
The tiny 14th-century Slipper Chapel, today a Roman Catholic shrine and center of pilgrimage, was built one mile south of the village as the last pilgrim chapel before Walsingham, and was dedicated to St Catherine. It was traditional to complete the pilgrimage barefoot from here, the "Holy Mile", hence the name of the chapel.
