History


North Walsham is a medieval market town that grew wealthy from the trade of wool and cloth. The town was largely rebuilt following a fire in 1600 but remained a significant market centre into the Industrial Revolution.

Number 2 Market Place dates to the early C17, the period following the fire of 1600. In the mid-C19 a shopfront was added, and the building was recorded as being a house and shop, possibly for a saddlery. In the 1980s, the basement was converted from storage to retail use. The shop front originally differed from the left to the right-hand side but has been made completely uniform since 2016.
