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 32 Market Place probably dates to the early C19. The 1842 tithe map and 1885 first edition Ordnance Survey show the building, which had been attached to a small row of cottages and shops on the north side (no longer extant). A replacement shop front was installed in 2015.
