About Swaffham

Swaffham is a market town and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. The town was originally situated on the A47, some 20 km east of the town of King's Lynn and 50 km west of the city of Norwich. The A47 now avoids the town, using a bypass opened in 1981. The civil parish has an area of 29.57 kmē and in the 2001 census had a population of 6,935 in 3,130 households. For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of Breckland. The town was named after an Anglo-Saxon tribe named the Swaefas. About 8 km to the north of Swaffham can be found the ruins of the formerly important Castle Acre Priory and Castle Acre Castle. By the 14th and 15th centuries Swaffham had a flourishing sheep and wool industry. As a result of this properity, the town has a large market place. The Market Cross here was built by the writer Horace Walpole and presented to the town in 1783. On the top is the statue of Ceres, the Roman goddess of the harvest.
