Kings Lynn History and
Tourist Attractions
King’s Lynn
is a medieval port steeped in maritime history, which stands on the River Ouse.
In medieval times it was considered a very important port, only being exceeded
by London and Southampton. Its trade brought great wealth to the area and many
fine buildings were built. The town was protected by walls and gatehouses and
the South Gate is still present today.
In the heart of the town stands the church of St Margaret. Its foundations date
back to the 12th Century, although the present building is not as early and has
a very interesting tide clock. Also situated in the town centre is the Saturday
market place which has been in use for 900 years.
In 1349 AD the Black Death
struck the town and nearly half of the town’s population perished. The town also
suffered great loss of life when floods and gales caused shipping disasters.
The town’s Trinity Guildhall is the home of ‘Tales of the Old Gaol House’. Visitors can see the original cells of the town’s jail and listen to the corresponding information by personal stereo. During the summer months there are guided walks from the Gaol House for those who want to learn more about the town’s history.
Adjacent is the Town House
Museum, which recreates the domestic life of the Lynn residents
from medieval times. The Lynn Museum hosts displays of
archaeology and history dating back to prehistoric times.
In 1683 the magnificent Custom House was built, which is now home to the town’s Tourist Information Centre. It also houses a special display of the town’s maritime history.
