Britain's What's On Event Guide
Greenland Fishery
Heritage Open Day: Have a whale of a time. The Greenland Fishery dates from 1605, originally the property of a wealthy trader and Mayor of Lynn, John Atkin. He had the house built for his family and it was designed to be a place for lavish entertaining. After three generations of the Atkins, the house has had many uses: a whaling pub, a bakery and a museum. It is still a fine example of 17th-century domestic architecture and a great rarity in King’s Lynn. Highlights of the building are the early 17th-century wall paintings and painted wood panelling.
Visits at Greenland Fishery will be interspersed with short informal concerts of Renaissance and original music inspired by Greenland Fishery and its frescos.
