*************

Sitting in the centre of The Walks, King's Lynn main urban park, lies the Red Mount chapel (52.7517°N 0.4058°E). Also known as 'Our Lady's Chapel' it is a remarkable building in that it is completely unique and no other building like it can be found. It was built in the 15th century to contain a relic of the Virgin, but was also used by pilgrims on their way to Walsingham.^[23]

It was built by Robert Corraunce on instructions from the prior of Lynn. The inner core is divided into 3 storeys and there is an additional cross-shaped ashlar building in Ancaster stone on top.^[24]

Before the renovation of the Walks, its location in the centre of the park meant it was the target of vandalism – particularly graffiti – however since rejuvenating the Walks the curious landmark is now open to the public during the day. It is a Grade I listed building.^[25] The red mount was the subject of a painting by Thomas Baines.^[26]
