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.

The wall is likely to have been built in the early C19. It was depicted on the Tithe Map of 1842, when it was recorded as forming part of a house, buildings and yard. A similar configuration is shown on the 1885 first edition Ordnance Survey map. The principal building formerly operated as North Walsham High School for Girls, later becoming Paston Sixth Form College.
