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 31 likely dates to the C18. It is located on Market Place, one of the earliest roads in North Walsham. It was recorded as a house and shop in the 1842 tithe apportionment. The shop front dates to the early C19. Internal work and shop front alterations were undertaken in the mid 2010s.
