Our last stretch of Pilgrimage takes us into the rolling inclines of Norfolk. This is an easy, pleasant walk from King's Lynn, past the 12th century castle at Castle Rising (National Heritage) and through the Queen's Estate at Sandringham, to the village of Snettisham, mostly along National Cycle Path 1 and a disused rail path. Morning Eucharist at a small church with a massive Norman font with fierce faces and a lovely garden; noon prayers at a church with another Norman font with three 'madly grinning cats' heads' and stunning Norman west entrance (by Wm. d'Albini, c. 1150); afternoon prayers at the only tin church in the country with a thatched roof, and at the spectacularly decorated small chapel at Sandringham ('one of the finest Karrstone buildings in existence').
