Red Mount Chapel

Built for pilgrims travelling through King’s Lynn on their way to Walsingham, the Red Mount Chapel is a unique 15th-century landmark. Its richly detailed stone interior contrasts with the brick exterior and rewards visitors when seasonal opening permits access.

The chapel was created for people travelling the pilgrimage route to Walsingham. Its unusual plan and position within The Walks connect Lynn’s religious history to journeys across East Anglia. The exterior alone is a memorable landmark, while any opportunity to see inside adds detail to the story. It is worth pausing here during a park walk to consider how a building of this scale served travellers moving through a much wider network of routes and sacred places.
