On 30 May, 1537, for their part in protesting against the suppression of religious houses by King Henry VIII, Nicholas Mileham,the Sub-Prior of Walsingham Abbey, and a fellow'conspirator, George Gysburgh, walked up this lane to their death.They suffered the terrible fate of being hanged, drawn and quartered in the field on the right hand side, which is still known to this day as the Martyr's Field.
