Red Mount Chapel
Visually, a
dominant element of that area of the registered landscape which
lies north-west through west to south of the structure; adding
visual interest/focal points to three of the main walks as well as
to intervening open landscape. The Red Mount is the highest point
of The Walks offering elevated view points
of the landscape from the structure itself and from the mound which
partially surrounds it.
The structure is unique and its importance is reflected in its status as a Scheduled Ancient monument/Grade 1 listed building.
The late 15th Century Red Mount Chapel was a wayside chapel
for pilgrims on their way to the shrine of Our Lady of
Walsingham. The upper chapel of 1506 has a fan vaulted roof,
further decorated with quatrefoils which inspired the design of the
pilgrimage trail plaque.
Also featured in the Discover King's Lynn Heritage Trail map,
free copies are available from King's Lynn Tourist Information Centre, and
also featured in guided town walks in King's
Lynn.
