PUPILS from Caston Primary Svhool turned into pilgrims for the day on a trip to Walsingham.
The children were given the chance to explore the ruins and make their own pilgrim badges during the visit.
As well as being given a talk about what a Christian pilgrim might carry, they also had a walk around the Abbey grounds and parts of the monastery which have survived.
The shrine was created in 1061, when a woman saw a vision of the house Jesus grew up in, which she then built.
