This ruined, 15th-century building harks from the time when Blakeney was one of Norfolk's most important ports. While it's called the 'Guildhall', there's no evidence that it's ever served as such, and is more likely to have been a merchant's house.

Inside, you'll find a brick-vaulted undercroft – the first storey of the house no longer exists. The site is owned by English Heritage and you can see the exterior whenever you like, but check opening times if you'd like to see inside.
