Swaffham, Market Place 1891

More about this scene
King John granted markets here, and they have continued ever since. They take place around the Palladian-style market cross which is in the centre of five main roads. In the background is the tower of St Peter and St Paul's church, which has a fine hammer-beam roof with over 200 carved angels with shields. There are other carvings and rare books in the vestry. Swaffham's history is full of folk-lore, especially that of the Swaffham Tinker, who is depicted with his dogs in the church. The town is situated on one of Norfolk's rare hills, and some early houses had wells dug 105ft deep to obtain water.
