Past President Tim Grass recommends a trip to an East Anglian village famous for its religious heritage.
Visitors to Walsingham normally make for the Anglican and/or Roman Catholic shrines, but it has other church buildings worthy of note.
The Methodist Chapel features on the front cover of the Eastern England volume of Christopher Stell’s series.
At the other end of the spectrum is the Russian Orthodox Chapel of St Seraphim, illustrated below. It was converted from what had been the railway station. This was built in 1857, although the line from Fakenham to Wells closed in 1964. When I visited it around 1990, even the platform fencing remained in place.
St Seraphim’s Trust is currently applying for funding to make the building, its iconography and its railway heritage more accessible to the public and has established a Friends Group to support their activities.
