Downham Market Heritage Centre

A volunteer-run centre sharing the history of Downham Market and its role as a gateway to the Norfolk Fens.

Downham Market has long been a meeting point between the Norfolk Fens and the wider county. The heritage centre brings together local records, objects and stories that explain how the market town grew and how its communities changed. It offers useful context for the town’s historic streets and for the wider landscape of drainage, farming and transport. Allow time to explore the centre and then look around Downham itself, using the displays as a guide to the details that might otherwise be missed.
