About 8 kilometers (5 miles) north of King's Lynn is The Wash , an estuary on the northwestern edge of East Anglia . The urban area extends to about 28 square kilometers . The Great Ouse, on the banks of which the city lies, is about 200 meters wide here. It serves as a drain for the water from the fen. The much smaller Gaywood River also flows through the city. It flows into the Great Ouse not far from the city center. The district West Lynn is on the western bank of the Great Ouse and is characterized by one of the oldest ferries connected in England with the city center.

history

etymology

The derivation of the city's name is unclear. The word part Lynn can be derived from the Celtic word Llyn for lake , refer to a nearby body of water , such as the Great Ouse River ; a derivation from the old English word lean , which indicates a lease for a farm, is also possible. In the Domesday Book the city appears under the name Lun and Lenn and is referred to as the property of the Bishop of Elmhama and the Archbishop of Canterbury . During the time when the city was under the rule of the Bishop of Norwich , it was called Len Episcopi or Bishops Lyn . Under Henry VIII it fell back to the crown and took on its current name. The locals have always referred to their town as Lynn . The name of the city of Lynn in Massachusetts , whose first pastor came from King's Lynn, is derived from this.

Origins in the Middle Ages

The nucleus of today's city lies south of the mouth of the Great Ouse River. King's Lynn received its first statute from King John Ohneland in 1205. Around 1100 Herbert de Losinga , at that time Bishop of Thetford , officially founded the city by consecrating the church of St. Margaret of Antioch and giving the place market rights . The place developed between the river Purfleet to the north and the river Millfleet to the south . This location made King's Lynn an important seaport for trade with continental Europe in the Middle Ages .

Early modern

In the 14th century King's Lynn was one of the most important ports in England. It was the location of a trading post of the Hanseatic League and the city was temporarily subordinate to the Stalhof in London. Today in King's Lynn, the Hanse House is the last remaining building of the Hanseatic League in England.

Hansekontor

In 1344 King Edward III. the citizens of King's Lynn allowed to trade grain with Norway on the condition that no enemy would be supplied and that they would bring a receipt from the Norwegian city of the delivery. On May 8, 1349 he allowed the citizens Thomas and William de Melchebourn to ship 1000 Quarter (= 12,700 kg) of grain to Norway. It is believed that this very ship caused the plague epidemics in Norway .

From 1524 the administration of King's Lynn was led by a mayor. Ten years later the first Latin school in town opened its doors. In the course of the 16th century the public water supply was established . For this, underground lines made of elm wood were laid. However, many citizens were too poor to be able to afford a union. In addition to these advances in infrastructure, the people of King's Lynn have faced severe setbacks time and again. In the years 1516, 1587, 1597, 1636 and 1665 the plague raged in the city area. In addition, fires often broke out in the densely built-up city center. To prevent this, thatched roofs were banned in 1572 . In the 16th and 17th centuries, the nature of King's Lynn-based industry also changed. The port's importance had steadily declined since the discovery of America . In the late 17th century, imports of Spanish , Portuguese and French wine flourished . In addition, King's Lynn became an important hub for coal . As early as the middle of the 17th century, the Fens around the city began to be drained and the areas obtained in this way were used as arable land. The products grown here were mainly exported to the steadily growing London . Also in the late 17th century, shipbuilding and glassblowing were important industries in the region.

Modern

The loss of importance since the 17th century was stopped by the development of the region by the railroad and King's Lynn became more attractive again. A museum was opened in 1904 and the first public library opened a year later . During the First World War , King's Lynn was one of the two targets of the first German airship raid on England on January 19, 1915. The Zeppelin L4 dropped eight bombs on the city, killing two people. On August 5, 1918, among others, the German Corvette Captain Peter Strasser died in the attack on King's Lynn under his command.

Various redevelopment measures were taken during the 1930s to renew the city . At the beginning of the Second World War it was initially assumed that the city would be spared from air raids and was therefore used as accommodation for refugees from London. During the war, however, the city was attacked several times by German airplanes.

On January 31, 1953, the entire East Anglia coast was hit by a violent storm surge . At around 6.30 p.m. the port facilities at the Great Ouse were flooded. The disaster warning to the population was given an hour earlier. The flood claimed 100 lives across the county.

With the steady growth of London, the population of King's Lynn also increased. That is why new residential areas were developed in the 1960s. At the same time, the city center underwent significant changes and many old buildings were demolished. In 1987 King's Lynn was the first city in England to add video surveillance systems to its inner city .

King's Lynn today

Since 2004, King's Lynn has once again implemented an extensive urban renewal plan. As part of this, the downtown Vancouver Shopping Center was renovated in 2005 and a new multi-storey car park was built. In addition , a new residential area is being built south of the city center in an area polluted with contaminated sites . In 2006 the city became the first member of the United Kingdom to join the New Hanseatic League , an association of former Hanseatic cities founded in 1980 .

religion

St Margaret's Church

The city looks back on deep Christian roots. When the city was founded by Herbert de Losinga, a monastery was also created . Around 1230, the Franciscans built a church east of Tower Lane . The monastery was closed in 1538 by Henry VIII . The Franciscan church was demolished in the course of the Reformation , whereby the 15th century tower remained. It is one of three church towers from this period in England that have survived to this day. Today a wide variety of religious communities are represented in the city. There are six churches of the Church of England , one Baptist church , nine Methodist churches and two meeting places for Evangelicals and Quakers .

politics

Originally part of the county of Norfolk , King's Lynn became an independent county borough in 1883 . In 1974 it was merged with the Downham Market Urban District , the Hunstanton Urban District , the Docking Rural District and the Downham Rural District , the Freebridge Lynn Rural District and the Marshland Rural District as part of a regional reform . This is how the Borough of King's Lynn and West Norfolk came into being . Mayor of King's Lynn is Barry Ayres for the 2014-2015 term. The city belongs to the elections for the House of Commons for the constituency of North West Norfolk , which has been represented by the conservative Henry Bellingham since 2001 . In the European Parliament , King's Lynn is represented by MPs from the East of England constituency .

coat of arms

The city coat of arms shows the legend of Saint Margaret of Antioch . She has been represented in the city's seal since the 13th century and the church in the city center is dedicated to her. The current city coat of arms goes back to the coat of arms of the Borough of King's Lynn, as it was recorded by the College of Arms in 1563. The current coat of arms of a supplemented board that represents the extended boundaries of the metropolitan area. At the top of the coat of arms there is a seagull on a bollard . This in turn is supported by a nobility crown . This also emphasizes the maritime connection of the city and emphasizes the connection between King's Lynn and the English royal court.

Town twinning

King's Lynn is in partnership with:

The city is also a member of the city organization Neue Hanse .

Culture and sights

Theaters and museums

Majestic Cinema

The city's only cinema, the Majestic Cinema , is located in the city center. It went into operation on May 23, 1928 and offers space for a total of 671 spectators in three halls. When it opened, it only had two cinemas, but a ballroom, which was closed in 1977 and converted into the third room. Not far from the harbor is the True's Yard Museum . The house, organized as an open-air museum , depicts the life of fishermen in the north end of King's Lynn. Two houses and a smokehouse from the 1890s were rebuilt for this purpose. The former consist of two rooms each, one on the ground floor and one on the first floor. The Lynn Museum is another museum on Market Street, in the immediate vicinity of the train station. Founded in 1844, this museum was initially located on Union Street, but moved the old post office building 10 years later before finally moving to its current location in 1904. There are regularly changing exhibitions on the history of King's Lynn.

music

In 1931 the concert pianist Ruth, Lady Fermoy , moved to town with her husband, Edmund, Lord Fermoy , who would later become the MP and Mayor of King's Lynn . She organized various matinees from which the King's Lynn Festival eventually developed. Concerts and Comdey events take place regularly in the Corn Exchange building on Tuesday Market Place.

Buildings

The oldest building in the city is the Church of St. Margaret of Antioch . The listed building is located southwest of the city center and still serves as a church building for the Church of England.
Another outstanding building is the Hansekontor , built in 1475 . It is located on St. Margaret's Lane on the banks of the Great Ouse. The building was originally made of wood, but was filled with bricks over the centuries.

Trinity Guildhall and City Hall

The Corn Exchange building is also listed . It was built in the Victorian style in 1854 . The rectangular building made of bricks and a glazed roof construction was used as an event space until the early 1990s, although it was already in disrepair. Planning for the restoration of the building began as early as the mid-1980s. In the course of this work, which cost a total of £ 4.4 million, an annex was added and finally reopened in 1996.
The Trinity Guildhall and City Hall form a joint building complex along Queen Street. The Trinity Guildhall was built as a meeting room for the guild of merchants of German descent. After it was destroyed by fire on January 23, 1421, it was rebuilt between 1421 and 1423. The largest window of the building complex was removed on August 7, 1624 at St. James Church and brought here. The coat of arms of Elizabeth I can be seen above this window . About 40 years later, the coat of arms of Charles II was placed above it .

Green spaces and recreation

There are several parks in the urban area . The largest with 17 hectares , The Walks , is laid out as a public garden and is located in the city center. It is the only 18th century Norfolk town garden. Originally, the site was laid out as a promenade for the city's residents, modeled on the gardens of 18th century English mansions . The park has been extensively restored with a £ 4.3 million donation from the Heritage Lottery Fund . In 1998, English Heritage classified the site as a National Historic Park and placed it under a preservation order. North of King's Lynn, Snettisham Park is a show farm opened in 1986.

Sports

King's Lynn is home to numerous sports clubs. For example, King's Lynn Town FC , a football club in the Premier Division, plays . He plays his home games in a stadium in The Walks .

The King's Lynn Speedway team ( King's Lynn Stars ) competes in the British Speedway Elite League . Former world champion Michael Andrew Lee drove for this club. Since 2006 there is also a basketball team with the Lynn Nets . The hockey team of Pelicans existed since 1920. The team trained today in King's Lynn, was until 1996 but in neighboring North Runcton home.

Regular events

The city has had market rights almost continuously since it was founded . Today there is a weekly market every Tuesday and Saturday .
In addition, the King's Lynn Mart takes place once a year, always beginning on February 14th . This folk festival lasts about 14 days and has its origins in the 16th century when King's Lynn hosted a fair twice a year . The festival is the first of its kind in the calendar year and is considered a test event for newly developed devices.

At the instigation of Lady Ruth Fermoy, the annual and nationally known King's Lynn Festival developed . It was first held in 1951 on the occasion of the Festival of Britain . Lady Fermoy's close friendship with and her position as lady-in-waiting of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon made it possible to win the Queen Mother as patron for the festival, an office she held until her death in 2002.
With the Festival Too , another music festival has been held in King's Lynn every summer since 1985. In addition, the King's Lynn Literature Festivals are held twice a year . On a weekend in March books from the field of fiction and on a weekend in September those from the field of poetry are presented.

Economy and Infrastructure

Like many cities on the English North Sea coast, King's Lynn was an important port for transport and fishing, but has lost much of its importance today. Most recently, the city was the import port for Škoda Auto cars . In 2008 the port was the fastest growing in the UK . King's Lynn is the economic capital of West Norfolk. The city center is characterized by cheap shopping opportunities. The main purchasing power of the residents is concentrated on 73,000 square meters of retail space, which is spread over 347 shops . The retail sector provides around 5,300 jobs in King's Lynn. The tourism industry plays a rather subordinate role in the city's economic life.

Companies

With Tesco and J Sainsbury , two large supermarkets opened in the city. Both companies have invested more than £ 340 million in building and developing their markets to date. Until 2007, King's Lynn was also a production site for Campbell's Soup . On August 21, 2009, Europe's largest paper machine for newsprint went into operation. The line built by Voith Paper for the Palm Group has a wire width of 11,400 mm and is designed for a maximum production speed of 2,200 m / min. It produces newsprint with a basis weight of 42 to 48.8 g / m². The annual capacity is 400,000 tons.

media

In the city area, the Lynn News appears twice a week, a local newspaper . Like the Peterborough Evening Telegraph and the Fenland Citizen, it belongs to the Lynn News Group. The College of West Anglia , located in King's Lynn, among other places , operates a web-based TV channel under the name SpringboardTV.com . This was awarded a prize for innovative Internet television in 2010. With KL.FM 96.7 , King's Lynn also has its own local radio station.

education

There are three secondary schools in King's Lynn , King Edward VII School , King's Lynn Academy, and Springwood High School . A fourth, St Clements High School , is in the neighboring village of Terrington St Clement .

The Springwood High School finally has its focus in the areas of Performing Arts and Drama . The closest private school is the Wisbech Grammar School in about 23 kilometers away in Wisbech .
The College of West Anglia maintains one of its three campuses in King's Lynn. This has its origins in the King's Lynn Technical School founded in 1894 .
