Description
The ruins of St. Edmund's Chapel are a medieval church located in New Hunstanton, known for its historical significance. The structure is primarily built from flint, with some stone dressings. The remains include the footings of an aisleless nave and chancel, which were mostly rebuilt in the early 20th century. Notable features include a battered buttress at the southwest corner made of clunch and chalk lump with stone dressings, and a wall that has an inserted early 20th-century brick and tiled round-headed arch. The site is historically associated with the landing place of King Edmund of East Anglia, who was martyred by the Danes, and is traditionally recognized as the northern end of the Peddar's Way.
