King’s Lynn was one of England’s foremost ports from medieval times and evidence of this rich maritime heritage is to be found all along the waterfront streets – fine houses, warehouses and, of course, the Custom House. Wealthy merchants, naval heroes, brave sailors and bold smugglers have all left their stories waiting to be heard.
Spanning ten centuries, this tour takes in an eclectic mix of ecclesiastical buildings in a wide range of architectural styles, some of which Pugin and Salvin influenced. See an anchorite’s cell, a Grade I listed Victorian park and its unique pilgrim chapel and a monastery garden with the Leaning Tower of Lynn. Learn how Edward VII helped provide a place of worship for the King of Spain.
