Downham Market
Downham Market, occasionally merely referred to as Downham, is a market town as well as civil parish in Norfolk, England. It rests on the edge of the Fens, on the River Great Ouse, around 11 miles south of King's Lynn, 39 miles west of Norwich as well as 30 miles north of Cambridge. The civil parish has a location of 5.2 kilometres ² as well as in the 2011 census had a population of 9,994 in 4,637 houses. For the objectives of city government, the parish falls within the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk. It belongs to South West Norfolk legislative constituency. It was a farming centre, establishing as a market for the fruit and vegetables of the Fens with a bridge throughout the Ouse. Throughout the Middle Ages, it was famed for its butter market as well as also organized a notable steed fair. The market is currently held Fridays and Saturdays on the city center parking lot. Noteworthy structures in the community include its mediaeval parish church, dedicated to St Edmund, and also Victorian clock tower, built in 1878. The community is also called the location where Charles I hid after the Battle of Naseby. In 2004 the community completed a regrowth job on the marketplace Place, moving the market to the town hall car park. The decorative town sign illustrates the crown as well as arrows of St Edmund with equines to show the significance of the horse fairs in the community's background. A heritage centre, Discover Downham, opened in a previous fire station in 2016.
