10.30am and 1.30pm Into The Mystic is a feature film based on the Book of Margery Kempe, the King’s Lynn medieval mystic, known as the first person to dictate an autobiography in English. Currently in final stages of production in King’s Lynn, it is written, directed and produced by Mirabelle Dominé-Walley and Luke Walker, involving a team of talented Norfolk and London volunteers. It is part drama: her life at the turn of the C15 and her meeting with the renowned anchoress, Julian of Norwich; part documentary, featuring Margery, dressed in white, wandering through the early period buildings of King’s Lynn, interspersed with interviews from locals and Kempe experts. It is supported by the Audrey Muriel Stratford Trust and The Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk.

Incorporating stone from the demolished friaries of Lynn, this brick warehouse was originally constructed by the Clayborne family to store their corn, salt and wine. It is Grade II* listed and takes its name from the Marriott brothers who owned or leased several granaries on the South Quay in the 19th century, including this warehouse. It is now in the care of Marriott’s Warehouse Trust.
