At the 2011 census, it had a population of 819. Walsingham is a significant centre of Pilgrimage. In 1061, according to the Walsingham legend, a Saxon noblewoman, Richeldis de Faverches, dreamt of the Virgin Mary in which she was advised to build a reproduction of the house of the Holy Family Members in Nazareth in honour of the Annunciation. Her family name does not appear in the Domesday Book. When it was developed, the Holy House in Walsingham was panelled with wood as well as contained a wooden sculpture of an enthroned Virgin Mary with the youngster Jesus seated on her lap. Among its relics was a phial of the Virgin's milk. Walsingham turned into one of north Europe's wonderful locations of expedition as well as continued to be so with a lot of the Middle Ages.
