Aylsham has been named as one of the best places to live in Norfolk by the Sunday Times \u2013 it\u2019s ideally placed for not just the coast and the Broads, but the city of Norwich as well. Here Hamiltons Removals, who offer house removals to all parts of Norfolk, look at the town\u2019s history and current facilities \u2013 and how we can help you to move there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The History<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is some evidence of Roman and Anglo-Saxon settlements on the site of the current town, which was granted a licence to hold a market by King Henry VIII in 1519. This is a tradition which continues to the present day.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aylsham owed its growth to the textile industry \u2013 particularly linen and cloth \u2013 and, in medieval times, it also hosted hiring fairs (a form of open-air labour market) and horse fairs as well. The River Bure, which the town lies on, helped with the town\u2019s trade and prosperity was used for the transport of grain, coal and timber from the 18th<\/sup> century onwards. (The river, which ultimately runs into the North Sea, is now only navigable from Coltishall).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another factor in the town\u2019s expansion was the fact that it served as a major stopping-off point for travellers between Norwich and Cromer \u2013 the Black Boys Inn was a coach house between the two. The Grade II listed building in the town\u2019s marketplace is still going strong as a pub and restaurant today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John of Gaunt, the famous nobleman and military leader, is the figure who appears on the town sign. This is because he was Aylsham\u2019s Lord of the Manor in the 14th<\/sup> Century \u2013 even though there\u2019s little evidence he ever actually visited Aylsham.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Town Today<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Aylsham of today doesn\u2019t have a livestock market any longer, but it does have a monthly farmers\u2019 market as well as its two regular weekly markets. There are also plenty of independent shops, although two supermarkets have been built on the Norwich Road. The Dunkirk industrial estate is home to a number of small businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aylsham is now a Cittaslow town, and it was one of the first in the UK to receive the accolade. This organisation was founded by Italian migrants who wanted to promote the joys of rural life across the UK (the word Cittaslow actually translates as \u2018slow city\u2019) and it has backed a number of initiatives in the town. It sponsors the farmers\u2019 markets, organises the town\u2019s annual Slow Food Festival in the autumn, promotes sustainable transport and co-ordinates Aylsham litter-picks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transport<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Norwich to Cromer road, which used to carry horse-related traffic, is now the route of the A140 which bypasses the town. Aylsham used to have a railway station, but this closed in the 1950s \u2013 instead there is a narrow-gauge heritage line, the Bure Valley Railway. This runs services to nearby Wroxham and is particularly popular with tourists and steam train enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The town also has a half-hourly bus service which runs to Sheringham to the north and Norwich to the south. However, many people commute into Norwich for work by car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House Prices in Aylsham<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A number of estates, notably Bure Valley and Willow Park in recent years, have seen the population of the town rise from just over 6,000 in 2011 to around 8,700 in 2021. This has also increased the variety of the types of homes coming onto the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its proximity to both the city of Norwich and the North Norfolk coast means it\u2019s one of the more popular places in Norfolk to live. Apart from the Sunday Times accolade, The Muddy Stilettos website, which offers a feminine perspective on rural life, also rated Aylsham the best place to live in Norfolk this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This desirability and popularity of the town may be reflected in Aylsham\u2019s property market \u2013 according to property portal Rightmove, the average house price is \u00a3332,000, which is around \u00a315,000 more than the Norfolk average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
