About

North Walsham Market Cross ward encompasses the historic core of this North Norfolk market town. The area centres around the medieval Market Cross itself, a stone structure dating to the early 1600s that once hosted traders beneath its octagonal roof. Surrounding streets like Market Street and Bank Lanes are lined with buildings reflecting centuries of development, from timber-framed facades to Georgian brick. The ward's layout clearly follows the old marketplace pattern, with roads radiating from the central square.

The area functions as the town's primary commercial and civic hub, containing many independent shops, services, and the local council offices. A notable feature is the preserved shell of the Church of St. Nicholas, its ruined 15th-century tower standing adjacent to the modern parish church following a great fire in the 1600s. Residential properties mix with businesses, creating a lived-in urban character distinct from the surrounding rural parishes of the district.
