Afternoon Talk – The Town Walls and King’s Lynn’s Part in the English Civil War

Description

In the 17th century King’s Lynn was the most fortified town in the East. Its ramparts, gates and earthworks stood against armies and time itself. Follow the line of the old defences and uncover the story of the 1643 siege — when King’s Lynn’s loyalty was tested, its walls bombarded, and its people caught between Crown and Parliament. Hear of how the geography of the town has changed, hiding much of the original fortifications but also about where the surviving sections can still be seen.
