It also contains the ruins of two medieval monastic houses.The civil parish, including Little Walsingham and Great Walsingham, together with the depopulated medieval village of Egmere , has an area of 18.98 km². At the 2011 census, it had a population of 819.Walsingham is a major centre of pilgrimage. In 1061, according to the Walsingham legend, a Saxon noblewoman, Richeldis de Faverches, had a vision of the Virgin Mary in which she was instructed to build a replica of the house of the Holy Family in Nazareth in honour of the Annunciation.
