North Walsham, in North Norfolk, had a population of around 13,000 at the 2021 census — a small market town with a school that shaped naval history.
Horatio Nelson's old school
North Walsham has held a market since medieval times, but its best-known landmark is Paston Grammar School, founded in 1606. A young Horatio Nelson was a pupil there before he left to join the Royal Navy, and the town still marks the connection — a statue of Nelson stands in the town centre, and the school building itself survives nearby.
What that history doesn't leave behind
North Walsham's Nelson connection didn't translate into a confectionery trade, and as a small market town it doesn't have a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — that's simply not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
