Tales of Lynn

THE HISTORY of King's Lynn in #Norfolk will be brought to life with the opening of a multi-million-pound attraction, Stories of Lynn, on March 25. One of the main treasures on display will be the King John Cup, a trophy created in memory of the Magna Carta monarch, who died 800 years ago this October.

Three historic buildings in the town hall complex have been re-modelled to provide exhibition and archive spaces dedicated to the heritage of the Hanseatic port on the North Norfolk coast. Visitors will be able to see interactive displays and rare documents at the museum.

King's Lynn was one of the last places visited by King John before his death in 1216.

Stories of Lynn will act as a gateway to the town's other heritage sites, which include the Red Mount Chapel, neighbouring King's Lynn Minster, Greyfriars Tower, True's Yard, the Lynn Museum, and Marriott's Warehouse.
