More about this scene

This is a classic example of a weaver's cottage. The village is famous for being the centre of the worsted cloth trade. The manufacture of this material started in the 13th century and finished 600 years later. The skill of Flemish weavers who came to Norfolk was responsible for the enormous expansion of the trade.
