The Shrine of Our Lady, Walsingham, England

Typical street in an English Village.  This is Walsingham, UK


The 11th century well at the Shrine of Our Lady, Walsingham





 We visited the Roman Catholic National Shrine of Our Lady, Walsingham, England.  This was a really interesting place to visit.  The majority of the churches in England are Church of England, there really are not that many Catholic churches.  The village of Walsingham is so very peaceful.  It is very well know in England because there are many pilgrimages to this shrine. The well is from 11th century stonework is said to be healing waters.  Of course I had to take a drink!
