120 North Walsham Town Guide
North Walsham Heritage Group
North Walsham Heritage Group was formed about
seven years ago by representatives from Regenerate
North Walsham CIC, the Town Council, businesses and
the other historical organisations to work together to
finally provide the town with a small museum, awaited
for many decades.
Its volunteers’ aims are to preserve the heritage of
North Walsham and the surrounding area and to make
archive materials, documents and objects available to
the general public for general interest and research
purposes.
The group’s Heritage Centre opened in June 2018 at
M.i. North Walsham in Vicarage Street. Within this are
display panels featuring key periods, industries and
personalities from the town’s 1,600 year history and
display cases featuring local objects. One of the oldest
objects on display is the town’s Newsham fire engine dating from around 1725. A series of quiz
sheets and activities are available for both young and older visitors.

The North Walsham & District Community Archive
The North Walsham & District Community
Archive was formally launched on the 5th
June 2007. It was a joint project between
the Norfolk County Council Cultural
Services Departments of Adult Education,
Libraries and Museums working in
conjunction with the existing Archives.
However we now host our own website
which is available not only for the people
of North Walsham and the surrounding
villages but anybody worldwide with a
wish to find out more about the area.
Meetings of the local group will normally be held at St Nicholas’ Room, Vicarage Street, North
Walsham. Attendance at the meetings isn’t essential for adding contributions to the archive.
Everyone is welcome to come to our meetings - if you have just one photo or memorabilia of the
area do drop in if you would like to share them or drop them in to either North Walsham Library
on New Road or North Walsham Heritage Centre on Vicarage Street. We are also interested in
photographs of the villages around North Walsham which can be added to the archive.
