Catholic National Shrine and Basilica of Our Lady, Walsingham

National Catholic Marian shrine at Walsingham centred on the medieval Slipper Chapel. The site is in Houghton St Giles, Walsingham, Norfolk, England. The Slipper Chapel is a surviving medieval pilgrimage chapel on the approach to Walsingham.

Catholic pilgrimage was restored in the modern period and the site developed as the national shrine. The Catholic shrine is centred on the medieval Slipper Chapel at Houghton St Giles, historically the final stopping point for pilgrims approaching Walsingham. Catholic pilgrimage to the area was revived in modern times, and the chapel became the focus of the national Catholic shrine.

Its devotion shares the wider Walsingham tradition of Richeldis and the Holy House; the 1061 vision account is presented as religious tradition, not as independently documented eleventh-century history. The shrine participates in the wider Walsingham tradition of the 1061 Marian vision of Richeldis; the vision account is devotional tradition rather than contemporary documentary history.

The site continues to function religiously as well as historically. Visitors should expect worship and community use to take priority over sightseeing, and should consult the official website for current opening arrangements, service times and any access restrictions.
