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 site comprises the northern entrance to what was the Paston Grammar School, which was founded in 1606 by Sir William Paston as a Free School. The school is now the Paston Sixth Form College. It is depicted on the 1842 Tithe map and on the 1885 first edition Ordnance Survey map.
