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 38 dates from the early C19. It is depicted on the Tithe Map of 1842 as a small square building. It is recorded as a house owned by William Plummer and occupied by ‘divers persons’. A similar configuration is shown on the 1885 first edition Ordnance Survey map.
