Fix this textTHE FAITHFUL STILL GATHER ANID WALSINGHAM'S ANCIENT RUINS
Fix this textTHE village of Walsingham in Norfolk is noted for the ruins of an
Fix this textAugustinian priory which, in earlier days, possessed the famous and
Fix this textwealthy shrine of “our Lady of Walsingham.” The Priory was founded by
Fix this textEdwy in 1061 and refounded by Geoffrey de Favranches in 1160. Almost
Fix this textfrom its foundation there was an unceasing movement of pilgrims to Walsing-
Fix this textham. They came from all parts of Europe to worship at the shrine, and the
Fix this textpossessions of the Priory were augmented by valuable gifts and large endow-
Fix this textments so that it became one of the richest in the world.
Fix this textAmong the pilgrims who paid their devotions there were King Edward I,
Fix this textEdward 11, Bruce of Scotland, Queen Isabella, Henry VII and Henry VIII at
Fix this textthe- commencement of his reign. The king is reputed to have walked to
Fix this textWalsingham barefoot from East Barsham manor-house, a distance of about
Fix this textthree miles, to bestow a gold chain on the figure of the Virgin; it being an
Fix this textessential condition that the pilgrim should walk the journey barefoot. At
Fix this textthe dissolution the figure was taken to London and burnt at Smithfield.
Fix this textIn 1921 the pre-Reformation pilgrimage to Walsingham was revived and
Fix this texttoday it is one of the chief pilgrimage centres in Britain. The accompanying
Fix this textillustration shows a gathering at the Priory ruins which stand in the grounds
Fix this textof Walsingham Abbey. The Abbey is a comparatively modern foundation
Fix this textwhich incorporates portions of the old buildings. Here can be seen the
Fix this textimposing east gable of the Priory church with flanking stair turrets. Near by
Fix this textare two ancient “wishing wells” and the remains of a 12th-century bath. In
Fix this textearlier days the wells were enclosed within a building of reeds and straw to
Fix this textwhich the early pilgrims were conducted and, for a fee, allowed to drink the
Fix this textwater from the wells which were reputed to bring relief from indigestion and
Fix this textheadaches and at the same time ensure for- the votary whatever he might wish
Fix this textfor at the time of drinking the waters.
Fix this textAlso at Walsingham can be seen the remains of another religious house,
Fix this textknown as Grey Friars, which was founded in 1346 by Elizabeth de Burgh,
Fix this textCountess of Clare.
