The Anglican Shrine is situated in the village of Little Walsingham and is close to the ruins of the original medieval Priory (destroyed in 1538), the present-day Shrine was gradually created from 1931 with a brand new Shrine Church in the south-east corner of the site. Within the Shrine Church is the "Holy House" a 'recreation' of the house in Nazareth where Mary received the news from the angel Gabriel that she received the annunciation.
