Local area guide
Skip hire in King's Lynn
King's Lynn is a port town in Norfolk, sitting on the Great Ouse where it meets the Wash, with a population of around 43,000. It was founded in the eleventh century as Bishop's Lynn, a possession of the Bishops of Norwich, and became one of the most important ports in medieval England — a member of the Hanseatic League and, at its height, England's third busiest port after London and Southampton, trading wool, grain and salt with the Baltic and the Low Countries. Henry VIII seized it at the Reformation, and it became Lynn Regis, the King's Lynn.
That mercantile wealth left the town an exceptional medieval and Georgian centre. Lynn has around 300 listed buildings, and the two historic marketplaces — the Tuesday Market Place and the Saturday Market Place — are connected by a street pattern largely unchanged since the Middle Ages. The Hanseatic Warehouse of 1475 on St Margaret's Lane is the only surviving Hanseatic League building in England. The Custom House of 1683, designed by Henry Bell, is one of the most admired small buildings in the country, and Trinity Guildhall, with its distinctive chequerboard flint and stone front of 1421, holds the town's regalia including King John's Cup, a fourteenth-century enamelled goblet.
The town's most remarkable individual was Margery Kempe, born here around 1373, whose Book of Margery Kempe — dictated because she was illiterate — is generally regarded as the first autobiography written in English. Its account of her visions, pilgrimages and turbulent spiritual life is one of the most extraordinary documents of the Middle Ages. King John is traditionally said to have lost the Crown Jewels in the Wash near Lynn in 1216, days before his death.
Sandringham House, the royal family's Norfolk estate, lies six miles north-east, and the Wash — the largest estuarine system in Britain and an internationally important site for wading birds and seals — stretches out beyond the port, which still handles commercial shipping.
King's Lynn sits on the A47 and A17, with King's Lynn station giving services to Cambridge in around 50 minutes and to London King's Cross. Housing ranges from medieval and Georgian property in the historic core to Victorian terraces, interwar and post-war estates at Gaywood and North Lynn, substantial expansion built for London overspill in the 1960s, and modern development on the town's eastern edge.
