The Julian Shrine with All Hallows Guesthouse, Norwich All Hallows Guesthouse is a unique urban retreat in the centre of historic Norwich.

We have planning approval!

Our Phase One project has been approved by Norwich City Council which means we can move forward on our plans to expand All Hallows Guesthouse by utilising the empty loft space, as well as making improvements to the upper entrance to the Shrine with new accessible brick paving, visitor centre front door, and traditional lychgate inscribed with the words of Julian of Norwich.

We still need to raise at least £160,000 to reach our goal of £400,000 for all the works. Spread the word and help us make this a reality!

This July marks the one year anniversary since the start of artist Debra Shipley’s two-year residency at the Julian Shrine. Reflecting on the last year, Debra says:
​
‘I can hardly believe that I have been Artist in Residence for a whole year; time has flown by during what has been a hugely positive experience. A year ago I picked and pressed a few flowers and leaves in the Julian Shrine garden which I subsequently incorporated into a paper bowl as part of my “Bowls in a Fragile World” collection. This particular bowl needed to be shallow to support the flattened delicate plants and in the end has turned out to be almost a plate! It is however, I think, very pretty and a joyful reflection of how happy I have been creating art in response to my “Temporal, Spatial, Spiritual” brief”.’
​​
The ​Anniversary Bowl will be on display throughout late June and July. Do come to the Shrine and see it for yourself if you can. More of Debra’s artwork is on show in our visitor centre, open 10am-3:30pm (closed Sunday and Wednesday).​
