Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Shops on the Market Place. After the arrival of Flemish weavers during the 14th century the village of North Walsham grew into a town, and by 1739 altogether 68 families were involved in producing the so-called light Walsham cloth, which was less heavy than the cloth made in the nearby village of Worstead. North Walsham was the centre of the Peasant's Revolt of 1381 and the final battle took place nearby - a 15th century stump cross was erected to mark the exact location > 458419. Many houses were destroyed in a fire in 1600. Thanks to the bypass built in 1977 heavy traffic is kept away from the town centre, where a weekly market is still being held.
