Slipper Chapel, Catholic chapel in Houghton Saint Giles, England.
The fourteenth-century stone chapel stands at the end of the pilgrimage route to Walsingham, featuring a traditional design with east and west windows.
Built in 1340, the chapel served as a resting point where medieval pilgrims would remove their shoes before walking the final mile to Walsingham.
The chapel contains statues of Mary and Gabriel outside its west door, with a centenary window depicting the Annunciation above the entrance.
Visitors can access the chapel via the Coastliner bus route 36, connecting Fakenham, Wells-next-the-Sea, Hunstanton, and King's Lynn stations.
The chapel grounds display fourteen oak crosses from the 1948 Cross-carrying Pilgrimage, with notices detailing their origins and distances.
