About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

In 1051, a woman named Richeldis de Faverches had a vision of the Virgin Mary in which she was told to build a shrine, a replica of the house lived in by Jesus at Nazareth. This 'Holy House' in Little Walsingham became a centre for pilgrimage from across Europe. The priory was reestablished near the shrine in 1253, and the shrine was later enclosed within the boundary of the abbey. It became one of the most celebrated places of pilgrimage in medieval England. Nothing remains of the original shrine, and very little has survived of the medieval monastery, but the site of the Holy House was discovered during excavations in 1961, and found to lie beside the ruins of the priory church. After the Dissolution of the priory in 1538, the former prior's lodging was transformed into a mansion which became known locally as "Walsingham Abbey". Even today you will hear people refer to "Walsingham Abbey" when what they really mean the medieval priory ruins.
