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 White Swan dates from the late C18. It is located on Church Street, to the east of the Church of St Nicholas. The building was depicted on the Tithe Map of 1842 and recorded as ‘White Swan Public House, Shop and Yards’. Internal and external alterations were undertaken in the late C20.
