Overview

History & significance

The chapel was built as a wayside shrine and stands as a remarkable example of Perpendicular Gothic architecture executed in brick, a material that was becoming increasingly fashionable in East Anglia during this period. The octagonal structure originally served pilgrims and residents of the town, with its distinctive form and architectural detailing reflecting the prosperity of medieval King's Lynn.
