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.

Number 2 Church Street is an early C19 building which was historically used as a shop. It first appears on the Tithe Map of 1842, and the holding comprised a house and shop. It is depicted as comprising a main range facing onto Church Street, with a rear range fronting onto New Road. A similar configuration is shown on the 1885 first edition Ordnance Survey map. The first floor was converted into offices in the 1980s, and a modern shop front has been installed.
