Once a market town based
around the sale of horses, Downham Market has
both history and elegance and lies on the edge
of the Fens.
Lord Nelson went to school here
as a child and in the centre of the town is a
neo-Gothic clock tower dating to 1878.
The
Church of St Edmund has a spire and a Gothic
crucifix. |

Eight miles from here is magnificent Oxburgh
Hall, a 15th century moated mansion, while in
the nearby village of Denver is a tower
windmill, a 13th
century church and a cast iron clock tower
with a glass chandelier. |
