Swaffham is a market town as well as civil parish in the Breckland Area and also English area of Norfolk. It is positioned 12 miles (19 kilometres) east of King's Lynn as well as 31 miles (50 kilometres) west of Norwich. The civil parish has a location of 11.42 sq mi (29.6 km2) and in the 2001 census had a population of 6,935 in 3,130 homes, which raised to 7,258, in 3,258 families, at the 2011 census. For the purposes of city government, the parish drops within the district of Breckland. On the west side of Swaffham Market Place are a number of old structures which for years housed the historic Hamond's Grammar School, as a plaque on the wall surface of the main building describes. The Hamond's Grade school building latterly concerned work as the sixth type for the Hamond's High School, yet that usage has because ceased. Harry Carter, the grade school's art instructor of the 1960s, was in charge of a variety of the carved village indicators that are now discovered in most of Norfolk's communities and villages, including Swaffham's own indication celebrating the fabulous Pedlar of Swaffham, which remains in the edge of the market location just opposite the old-fashioned's gates. Carter was a distant relative of the excavator and egyptologist Howard Carter who spent a lot of his childhood in the community.
