King's Lynn Minster (formerly St Margaret's Church) is a stunning Grade I-listed building in the heart of King’s Lynn. Founded in 1095 as a Benedictine Priory, the church was rebuilt in the 13th century and has been modified continuously through the years. The minster boasts huge bells from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries and its organ survives from the mid-18th century.

King's Lynn packs so much history in! The town’s heritage is reflected in an amazing array of historic buildings and at two magnificent market places.

The Minster was founded in 1095 as a Benedictine Priory, the church was rebuilt in the 13th century and has been modified through the years.

The ornate Town Hall dates back to 1421 and fine old merchants’ houses stretch down to the river between cobbled lanes and the elegant Custom House overlooking the harbour.
