The statues are set in niches either side of the lancet window above the entrance to the so-called slipper chapel - a modern term implying that from here pilgrims would walk barefoot to the main shrine at Walsingham about a mile nearer the coast. The fourteenth century chapel was bought by Charlotte Boyd in 1894 as a recent convert to Catholicism. It passed to the monks of Downside who in turn handed it onto the diocese of Northampton in 1930.
