The Slipper Chapel

The Slipper Chapel is a Roman Catholic chapel and shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Walsingham, built in a mid-14th century style. It is a decorated wayside chapel that was restored in 1904 by architect Thomas Garner and reopened for regular worship in 1934. The chapel features flint walls with stone dressings and a tiled roof made of stone slates.

The west front has diagonally set buttresses, a door, and two niches, with a decorated three-light window above that has tracery within recticulated framing. This window is flanked by ogee-headed niches containing 20th-century statues. The gable includes central niches and two diagonally placed turrets, with fleur-de-lis banded parapets on the returns, and two 2-light decorated windows on the south side. The west window and gable were added in 1904.

Inside, the chapel has three bays with a restored 15th-century Perpendicular-style arched braced roof. The furnishings, primarily from 1934 and designed by Miss Lillian Dagless under the direction of Monseigneur Squirrel, include a pedestal and spirelet for a statue from 1954, an altar, and a reredos. The east window, created in 1954 by Geoffrey Webb, features Comper style and colouring. There is an arched tester over the altar, and a corridor to the north leads to the sacristy and the Chapel of the Holy Ghost, which was completed in 1938 by architect Monseigneur Bruno Scott-James, featuring a stone altar with a gilt reredos.
