Our Lady of Woolpit

Woolpit in Suffolk was, in medieval times, a place of pilgrimage, on the road to Walsingham.

In the Church of St Mary, the Blessed Virgin was venerated under the title of Our Lady of Woolpit. A miraculous well stood in a meadow near the east end of the church.

Today the church still boasts a medieval rood screen and one of the best examples of an angel hammer beam roof.
