A new pilgrimage trail has been created linking several north Norfolk churches along a route of more than 10 miles.
The trail begins at St Peter’s Church in Sheringham and ends at the Church of the Head of John the Baptist in Trimingham — once a major pilgrimage destination in medieval times.
Named From Brokenness to New Life, the route weaves in and out of the King Charles III Coast Path, taking in several parish churches along the way.
The Trimingham church was historically significant because it once housed an alabaster head of John the Baptist — a replica of the relic at St Amiens in France. Although the head was later destroyed, the church’s name preserves its legacy.
Julie Rubidge from St Peter’s said: “Do take the trail and experience this special new pilgrimage for yourself.”
Walkers can complete the trail at their own pace or follow it virtually, using a printed or digital guide available from St Peter’s Church or online.
