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.

1 Mundesley Road is a residential house constructed in the early C18. It appears on the 1842 tithe apportionment, as “Houses & Shops” owned by Jack Petre and occupied by Divers [Diverse] Persons. Latterly the building has become known as “Kett House”. The gable wall of the building, facing Cromer Street, was rebuilt in 1989.
