The Pilgrimage route now turns east to the coast and the historic town of Great Yarmouth.
Great Yarmouth was an important trading town and port long before it became a popular holiday resort. Although much of the historic town centre was lost in the Second World War due to bombing, and the Priory Church of St Nicholas burnt out there are still some historic parts surving and the restored Priory worth visiting.
The shrine of Our Lady ‘of Ardenbergh’ was in a separate, and long destroyed, chapel in the churchyard. My account of it and its link to the battle of Sluys in 1340 can be seen at Marian Pilgrimage - Our Lady ‘of Ardenbergh’ at Great Yarmouth
Our Lady ‘of Ardenbergh’ at Grrat Uarmouth pray for The King and The Queen and for us all.
