Walsingham railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walsingham was a railway station on the Wells & Fakenham Railway, later part of the Great Eastern Railway. It opened on 1 December 1857, and served the villages of Great Walsingham and Little Walsingham. It closed on 5 October 1964. The station building is currently (2007) home to St. Seraphim's Russian Orthodox church.
Since 1982, there has been a second station at Walsingham - the southern terminus of the narrow gauge Wells and Walsingham Light Railway. This station is sited slightly to the north of the original, the latter now having a car and coach park on the site of the tracks.
