Description
Excerpt from Searches Into the History of the Gillman or Gilman Family, Vol. 2: Including the Various Branches in England, Ireland, America and Belgium
In the next will that of John Gilmyn the Elder, we find the family 27 miles north-west of Norwich, or at Little Walsingham. He desires to be buried at the Church of All Hallows, Little Wal singham, before the Image of our ladye in the Wall. This was a most noted place of pilgrimage, Kings and Queens of England and distinguished foreigners from all parts of Europe resorting hither to pay their devotions at the famous shrine of our Lady of Walsingham. The last regal devotee was Henry VIII., who, in the second year of his reign, a.d. 1510, walked barefoot to the shrine from Barsham, a village distant about three miles. The King, however, a few years later (1538) very ungallantly caused the image to be burned at Chelsea.
