We drove from York to Lincoln and attended mass at Lincoln Cathedral. After this we had a look around the cathedral and its environs. Lincoln Cathedral had a very interesting façade which had been added to the front of the old Norman church. We then moved to our prime destination for the day; the Anglican shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. Little Walsingham, the village where the shrine is located, draws most of its resources from the pilgrims that attend both the Anglican shrine and the Roman Catholic Slipper Chapel, the latter located a mile out of the village. The Anglican shrine grounds are spectacular. The shrine church houses a replica of the Holy House of Nazareth, as seen by a visionary, some time in the 10th or 11th century. We then went on to Thetford, an old market town, to stay the night.
