Welcome to Walpole
Walpole is an English civil parish within the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk and the county of Norfolk
Located roughly half way between King’s Lynn and Wisbech, and on the borders of Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. The Walpoles is made up of two former villages – St. Peter’s and St. Andrew’s – as well as the hamlet of Walpole Marsh to the north-west. Lying some 6 miles to the north-east of Wisbech. The Walpoles have a rich and intriguing history. The area is known to have been settled by the Romans, and it was they who built the massive earthen sea wall which is still called Roman Bank. Until the installation of the 1st Sutton Bridge, in 1821, Roman Bank provided the only route from north Norfolk into Lincolnshire. King John is thought to have lost his treasure in Walpole, in 1216, while journeying from King’s Lynn to Newark with his train of horse-drawn wagons.
