Slipper Chapel

Here we are at the Slipper Chapel. One theory is that it is called the Slipper Chapel because it was along the pilgrimage route from London and people would take their shoes off to walk the final 1.5 miles. It is on record that Henry VIII walked the distance “nudis pedipus” (if I remembered the Latin correctly). After the Reformation, Henry had the priory in Little Walsingham destroyed.
