Anglican Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, Christian pilgrimage site in Walsingham, England.
The Anglican Shrine features a main church building, gardens, chapels, and a replica of the Holy House containing the statue of Our Lady of Walsingham.
The original shrine, established in 1061 by Richeldis de Faverches, was destroyed in 1538 under Henry VIII's orders and restored in 1921 by Father Alfred Hope Patten.
Pilgrims from across England and Europe gather at this spiritual center for regular religious services, annual pilgrimages, and personal prayer throughout the year.
The shrine complex includes accommodation facilities, meeting rooms, a refectory, cafe, shop, and visitor center providing resources for extended spiritual retreats.
The site contains a holy well where visitors collect water believed to possess healing properties, continuing a tradition that spans nearly a millennium.
