Walsingham Priory, Norfolk, the site of the shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. The priory was, with the complicity of the prior, destroyed under Cromwell Henry VIII after its valuables had been removed. Today there are two shrines in Walsingham, one Roman Catholic and one Anglican. The Slipper Chapel (where pilgrims removed their shoes before completing their journey) is Roman Catholic, and Our Lady of Walsingham Anglican. Here the pilgrims were taking part in mass. Confessions were being heard in lawn chairs just out of shot to the right.
