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.

Located on the south side of the ancient market place, the building at Number 20 is likely to be early C19 in origin and is recorded on the 1842 Tithe apportionment as a house a shop. It has changed use several times and the shop front was replaced in the first half of the C20.
