Grain dryer next to the dismantled railway Just north of the Fakenham bypass. I'm not sure if it is still in use these days. The position of it suggests it may well have loaded dried grain directly into railway wagons before the rail closure?

Slipper Chapel, Walsingham The "Slipper Chapel" was built in the mid-14th century, and dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria, this chapel served pilgrims on their way to the Walsingham shrine. Just as on Mount Sinai, Moses took off his shoes because he was on holy ground, so the pilgrims used to remove their shoes and walk the Holy Mile into Walsingham.
