King's Lynn, known until 1537 as Bishop's Lynn and colloquially as Lynn. If you haven’t been to King’s Lynn, you don’t know what you are missing. It’s a historic town that is well-preserved with no less than 481 listed buildings. For a town of its size, the medieval architecture is unmatched anywhere in the country.

St. Nicholas Chapel is the largest Chapel of Ease in England. This means that St Nicholas does not serve its own Parish, instead it is subject to the Parish Church at St Margaret’s Priory (aka King’s Lynn Minster), and has the same legal status as a side chapel inside that building.

A walking tour of the town is one of the best free things to do in Kings Lynn. Pick up self-guided trail leaflets from the Tourist Information Centre in the Town Hall, or download 

The Custom House may be King’s Lynn’s most iconic building.
The Custom House is the architectural symbol of King’s Lynn. It was commissioned in 1683 by Sir John Turner, a local wine merchant, and built to be a merchant’s exchange. The building was designed by Henry Bell. The ground floor was the exchange and the first floor was the customs office.
