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 23 and 24 Market Place likely date from the C18 and were built as a single phase of construction, though they have undergone several periods of alteration since that time. In the mid-C19 they were occupied by a grocer, tea dealer and tallow chandler. The projecting Doric shopfront was added in the mid-C19. The building has changed use through the later C20 and early C21, and number 24 underwent internal and external changes in 2017 to sub-divide ground floor shop.
