16-18 Old Market Place
Historic Buildings
There are over 147 listed building entries with Historic England for Harleston, from medieval times, through Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian up to the present day.
Unlike other towns which have stripped back the subsequent development and evolution of the buildings, those in Harleston are often hidden under a brick Georgian or Victorian overcoat. Harleston buildings show how fashion and society has changed over the last 600 years and still retains evidence of former days.
Hidden Gems
Those with a keen eye and inquisitive mind will be able to identify the features which reveal the period of the buildings and spot details which uncover those which hide earlier incarnations.
Heritage Open Days
Every September thousands of volunteers across England organise events to celebrate our fantastic history and culture. It's your chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences – all of which are FREE to explore.
Heritage Open Days for 2024 will run from 6 to 15 September. Harleston will be joining the programme with a fantastic programme of open doors, trails and events.
