Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Great Fire of South Walsham 1827
Heritage Open Day: An exhibition and activities telling the story of a fire which swept through South Walsham, devastating St Lawrence's Church. Find out how today's arts centre rose from the ashes and how the village will celebrate the bicentenary of this event. Learn how a fire which started in a village cattle yard spread so far and so fast that many buildings in South Walsham, including the medieval church of St Lawrence, were severely damaged. Discover how the fire miraculously missed the parish church of St Mary's, which shares the same churchyard, and how local people preserved and enhanced the once sad remains of St Lawrence's, recreating it as a rural centre for the arts.
