A small free museum in the historic pilgrimage village of Little Walsingham, on the High Street. It displays part of a large collection of Marian objects left to the Catholic National Shrine by the late Peter Sibley. Visitors can see medieval pilgrim badges, including ones linked to the village's pre-Reformation pilgrimages, alongside old coins, postage stamps from around the world, postcards, statues and relic crosses. The displays suit families interested in history, coins and stamps, and older children studying medieval life or pilgrimage will find the badges especially interesting. The collection is compact, so a visit can fit easily around a walk through the village and a stop at the nearby abbey grounds or the Shirehall Museum.
