History

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.

The building at Number 3 Market Place dates to the early C17. In the early C19 it was refaced in red brick along the street elevation, and a shopfront was added. By the mid-C19 the building was recorded as being a house, shops, and yard. Some internal changes took place in the 1980s and 1990s, including an extension to provide storage space, and the building was also subdivided to form flats and shops.
