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 8 Market Street is an early C19 building which was historically used as a shop. It first appears on the Tithe Map of 1842, at which date it belonged to William Love. The holding comprised a house and Baking Office. It is also depicted on the 1885 First edition Ordnance Survey map, which shows a rear range forming part of the western side of Mitre Tavern Yard to the rear.
