The "Slipper Chapel" was built in the mid-14th century, and dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria, this chapel served pilgrims on their way to the Walsingham shrine. Just as on Mount Sinai, Moses took off his shoes because he was on holy ground, so the pilgrims used to remove their shoes and walk the Holy Mile into Walsingham.
