A little history
King's Lynn was one of medieval England's most important ports — trading with the Hanseatic League across the North Sea. The Custom House (1683) is one of the finest 17th century commercial buildings in England. The Tuesday Market Place retains its medieval scale. The town's wealth came from wool, grain and fish.
The Custom House on the Tuesday Market Place is magnificent — the finest mercantile building in East Anglia. The Saturday market is excellent. The Hanseatic Warehouse for the trading history. The Great Ouse riverside walk.
