Fine old merchants’ houses stretch down to the river between cobbled lanes and the elegant Custom House overlooks the original me- dieval harbour. An important Hanseatic town during much of its history, it is a proud member of the modern day Hanse. The 12th century King’s Lynn Minster dominates the Saturday Market Place around which is some of the finest architecture in England. His- toric Queen Street and beautiful King Street lead into Tuesday Market Place, perhaps one of England’s grandest squares. As a renowned centre for culture, Lynn is home to both the King’s Lynn Arts Centre and the Corn Exchange concert venue. Combined with the annual King’s Lynn Festival and Festival Too, the town offers an out- standing programme of arts and entertainment throughout the year. King’s Lynn is the gateway to the Fens and to the beautiful Norfolk Coast. In the town itself you can enjoy walks along the riverfront, through the town’s historic streets or through its urban parks, includ- ing The Walks and Tower Gardens, winners of prestigious Green Flag Awards given to some of England’s finest parks. Dès le 12ème siècle, King’s Lynn a été l’un des ports les plus importants et ce passé maritime est encore très visible aujourd’hui. Les vieilles maisons des marchands de produits raffinés qui donnent sur le port médiéval d’origine, s’étendent jusqu’à la rivière entre des rues pavées et l’élégant Custom House. Elle a été une ville hanséatique pendant la plus grande partie de son histoire et est fière de faire partie de la ligue hanséatique aujourd’hui. Le King’s Lynn Minster qui date du 12ème siècle domine la Saturday Market Place autour de laquelle on peut trouver l’architecture la plus élégante d’Angleterre. L’ historique Queen Street et la ravissante King Street mènent à la Tuesday Market Place, sûrement l’une des places les plus majestueuses d’Angleterre. Renommé en tant que centre culturel, Lynn abrite à la fois le King’s Lynn Arts Centre et la salle de concert Corn Exchange. En collaboration avec le festival annuel de King’s Lynn et le Festival Too, la ville offre un épa- tant programme d’arts et de divertissements tout au long de l’année. King’s Lynn est la passerelle vers la région du Fens et la somptueuse côte de Norfolk. Dans la ville elle-même, vous pourrez profiter de prom- enades le long du bord de la rivière ou à travers ses rues historiques ou ses parcs urbains notamment The Walks et Tower Gardens, lauréats du prestigieux prix du drapeau vert (Green Flag Award) remis aux parcs les plus élégants d’Angleterre. art, cities & landscape king’s lynn 2014 art, villes & paysage king’s lynn 2014 www.artvillespaysage.com European Regional Development Fund The European Union, investing in your future Fonds européen de développement régional L’Union européenne investit dans votre avenir To find out more about the Arts, Cities Landscape project including ideas about visiting King’s Lynn or Amiens visit www.artcitieslandscape.com To find out more about the Arts, Cities Landscape project including ideas about visiting King’s Lynn or Amiens visit www.artcitieslandscape.com Funded as part of the European cross-border co-operation programme INTERREG IV A France (Channel) – England co-financed by the ERDF.

Saturday Market Place is surrounded by fine historic buildings including the magnificent Trinity Guildhall and Town Hall complex. A short walk down St Margaret’s Place past the main entrance to King’s Lynn Minster leads to the junction of Nelson Street, St Margaret’s Lane and Priory Lane home to many of King’s Lynn’s oldest and most attrac- tive houses. In the opposite direction along Queen Street, Thoresby College is a fine Tudor complex and courtyard which originally housed the priests of the Trinity Guild. Le développement de King’s Lynn a débuté autour de la Saturday Market Place avec le bâtiment de l’église St Margaret (King’s Lynn Minster) qui date du 12ème siècle. La Saturday Market Place est entourée de bâti- ments historiques élégants notamment le magnifique complexe Trinity Guildhall et l’Hôtel de Ville. Une courte promenade le long de la St Mar- garet’s Place en passant devant l’entrée principale la King’s Lynn Minster mène au croisement de la Nelson Street, de la St Margaret’s Lane et de la Priory Lane qui abrite certaines des vieilles et belles maisons de King’s Lynn. Dans la direction opposée le long de la Queen Street, le Thoresby College est un complexe et une cour Tudor élégants qui abritaient autrefois les prêtres de Trinity Guild. MEDIEVAL OLD TOWN LA VIEILLE VILLE MEDIEVALE King’s Lynn’s historic waterfront along the River Great Ouse features fine historic buildings including the iconic Custom House situated alongside The Purfleet, the town’s principal anchorage for ships since medieval times. Designed by Henry Bell in 1683 The Custom House was restored and opened as a heritage centre and Tourist Information Centre around 1999. Along South Quay, Marriott’s Warehouse was built as a Tudor warehouse around 1580, and was extensively restored around 2000 as part of a scheme to restore and enhance the entire waterfront area. Close to Marriott’s Warehouse is Hanse House, England’s only surviving Kontor or trading post of the Hanseatic league of merchants. The splen- did complex of buildings around the courtyard spans the 15th – 18th centuries and has recently been undergoing a programme of restoration and refurbishment to provide public access. Au bord de la mer, le long de la rivière River Great Ouse, on peut trouver des bâtiments historiques élégants notamment l’iconique Custom House situé le long de Purfleet, le point d’ancrage principal de la ville depuis l’époque médiévale. Conçu par Henry Bell et ouvert en 1683, le Custom House a été restauré et transformé en centre du patrimoine et office du tourisme vers 1999. Le long de South Quay, Marriotts’s Warehouse a été construit comme entrepôt des Tudor vers 1580 et a été largement restauré vers 2000 dans le cadre d’un projet de restauration et de mise en avant de toute la zone du bord de la riviere. A côté de Marriotts’s Warehouse se trouve la Hanse House, le seul comptoir d’échange de la ligue hanséatique des marchands qui subsiste en Angleterre. Le splendide complexe de bâtiments autour de la cour couvre les 15ème et 18ème siècles et a récemment été au centre d’un programme de restauration et de rénovation pour donner accès au public. RIVER & WATERFRONT RIVIERE ET BORD DE MER From the corner of the Tuesday Market Place to the Custom House, is magnificent King Street which became the preferred location for Lynn’s merchants from the 14th century. Behind the grand buildings on King Street was a world of warehouses, breweries and merchants yards. St George’s Guildhall on King Street, England’s largest surviving guildhall, was probably built around 1430 and has long been used as a theatre and performance venue, along with the warehouses to the rear which were restored and converted into galleries for displays and workshops in the 1990’s. Tuesday Market Place is probably one of England’s grandest squares. Home to the 17th century Duke’s Head Hotel, designed by Henry Bell, it also features the Corn Exchange which was restored and converted into a theatre and performance venue around 1996. Au coin de la Tuesday Market Place et du Custom House, on peut trou- ver la magnifique King Street qui est devenue le lieu préféré des march- ands de Lynn à partir du 14ème siècle. Derrière les splendides bâtiments de la King Street se trouvaient un monde d’entrepôts, de brasseries et d’entrepôts de fournisseurs. Le St George’s Guildhal dans la King Street, le plus grand ‘Guildhall’ d’Angleterre qui subsiste, a probablement été construit vers 1430 et a longtemps été utilisé comme théâtre et salle de spectacle, avec les entrepôts à l’arrière qui ont été restaurés et convertis en galeries pour exposition et séances de travail dans les années 90. La Tuesday Market Place est très certainement l’une des places les plus majestueuses d’Angleterre. Elle y abrite l’hôtel Duke’s Head qui a été conçu par Henry Bell au 17ème siècle, mais aussi le Corn Exchange qui a été restauré et converti en théâtre et salle de concert vers 1996. KING STREET & TUESDAY MARKET PLACE KING street & TUESDAY MARKET PLACE To the north of Tuesday Market Place, St Nicholas’ Chapel is England’s largest parochial Chapel. Founded in 1146 and named after St Nicholas the patron saint of sailors, the current chapel was erected in the 15th century and features a wooden roof with a series of beautifully carved angels. Grant funding has recently been secured to carry out a pro- gramme of improvement to the building and facilities to develop it into a thriving community facility. True’s Yard Fisherfolk Museum is dedicated to the heritage and lives of people who worked in the old fishing quarter ‘The North End’. The museum features cottages in the last surviving fisherfolk yard in Lynn as well as Lynn’s recently restored last Victorian Smokehouse and a fully restored and rigged 1904 fishing smack. Au nord de la Tuesday Market Place, la St Nicholas’ Chapel est la chapelle pastorale la plus grande d’Angleterre. Bâtie en 1146 et baptisée en hommage à St Nicolas le saint des marins, la chapelle actuelle a été érigée au 15ème siècle avec un toit en bois et une série d’anges sculptés. Des subventions ont récemment été garanties pour y mener un programme d’améliorations et le transformer en un lieu prospère pour la population locale. Le True’s Yard Fisherfolk Museum est dédié au patrimoine et à la vie des gens qui ont travaillé dans l’ancien quartier des pêcheurs ‘The North End’. Le musée expose de vieux cottages de l’époque des entrepôts de pêcheurs à Lynn ainsi que le dernier fumoir de l’époque victorienne complètement restauré et un bateau de pêcheurs de 1904 entièrement rénové.
