A well laid out building, clean, well lit and airy. All carpeted. Masses of pods covering all types of antiques & collectables. The items that were of interest to us seemed quite highly priced. Clean toilets and staff are polite. We dropped in on the way home from the coast as it was recommended by other people in another antique shop. Well worth a visit!

4. St Nicholas' Chapel
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 74 reviews
From the tip of its 19th-century spire to its Norman foundations, everything about this town centre chapel is dazzling. Light floods from its magnificent windows into the interior. Monuments from the 17th- and 18th-centuries, some with startlingly life-like painted figures, celebrate King's Lynn's seamen, merchants, mayors and shopkeepers and illustrate the town's long history as a busy commercial centre and port. The chapel's carved woodwork is of such quality that some of it is now in the V&A Museum, but in the medieval stalls you can still see an astonishing collection of carved creatures. In the 15th-century wooden roof, carved angels with outstretched wings sing and play musical instruments. One holds a recorder -- the earliest ever portrayal of the instrument in church carving. Come and explore nine centuries of treasures in this extraordinary and beautiful chapel - the largest chapel of ease in England.

Often visit here in winter. It's the place to watch hen harriers. Great that there is a new car park as the old one was very pot holed. Nice walks, good birding.

Reviewed By WelshNZers - Auckland Central, New Zealand
Driving from Boston, Kings Lynn is pretty impressive with St Georges Guild Hall (1410), and then Kings Lynn Minster which was formerly the Priory and Parish Church of St Margaret & is located in Saturday Market Place in the centre of Kings Lynn. On the west face of the south-west tower is the blue Moon or Tide clock, a C20th reproduction of the original clock made by clockmaker and churchwarden Thomas Tue that was destroyed in a storm. Equally impressive is the early 16th Century Trinity Guild Hall and Town Hall with its flint chequerboard facade. There are loads of other fabulous historic buildings around it. We spent a few hours exploring Kings Lynn and were glad we'd done so. This is quite a spectacular place of interest historically and definitely one we can recommend to others. There are a number of carparks in Kings Lynn (just remember where you parked as we got lost trying to find our car at the end of our walking tour and were rescued by one of the Parking Wardens who kindly located our rental).

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 12 reviews
A traditional pub at the heart of the local community, where you can enjoy a decent pint in front of a real fire. Families are most welcome. Well behaved dogs, too. We have regular quiz nights, live bands and a number of special events throughout the year including a conker competition, golf tournaments and an annual Bake Off, all of which are fiercely contested. A warm welcome awaits you in the London Porterhouse.
