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.

Numbers 21 and 22 Market Place were built in the mid-C19. An earlier building is depicted on the Tithe Map of 1842 and had been replaced by the current structure by the time of the 1885 first edition Ordnance Survey map. It functioned as offices during the later C20, and was later converted to flats.
