Great Yarmouth town walls, Great Yarmouth - Great Yarmouth
Medieval town walls, just over a mile long with eleven surviving towers. Work started in 1276 and took more than a century to complete. Some of the masonry is in fair condition; other sections of upstanding town walls owned by the Borough Council, and areas in multiple separate ownership, are at risk from loss, particularly at high level. The Borough Council has secured a Historic England Repair Grants for Heritage at Risk to support a phased programme of repairs starting in 2018 and finishing in spring 2024. Work is on site.
