Greenland Fishery

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.
