Downham Market,Norfolk

Kelly's 1933 Directory

DOWNHAM MARKET is a market town and parish, giving its name to the Downham rural district: it is the head of a county court district, with a station on the Lynn and Ely section of the London and North eastern railway, and a branch line to Stoke Ferry, 88 miles from London, 59 1/4 west from Norwich by rail and 42 by road, 15 3/4 north from Ely and 11 south from Lynn, in the South Western division of the county, Clackclose hundred and petty sessional division, rural deanery of Fincham, archdeaconry of Wisbech and diocese of Ely. By Order of the Norfolk County Council, Downham was, in 1896, divided into two parishes, the rural part called Downham West, and the urban, Downham Market. The town is seated on the eastern slope of the vale of the navigable river Ouse, over which and the neighbouring country is a fine uninterrupted view; the river is here crossed by an iron lattice girder bridge with two piers, erected at a total cost of £3,500, from designs by Mr. David Oldfield C.E. and opened 9 Feb 1879.

Under the provisions of the "Local Government Act, 1894" (56 and 57 Vict. c. 73), the town is governed by an Urban District Council of 18 members. The town is lighted with gas from works near the railway station, the property of the Downham Gas and Coke Company Ltd. formed in 1840. The church of St. Edmund is an ancient pile, originally Norman, but rebuilt in the Early English period, and since extensively altered: it now consists of chancel, nave, aisles, south porch and a low embattled western tower of carr or rag stone, with buttresses and quoins of freestone, surmounted by a slender spire, which with the tower was restored in 1896, at a cost of £340: in the tower are 8 bells: in 1884 the chancel floor was relaid, and in 1886 a stone statuette of St Edmund the Martyr was set in a niche over the entrance to the south porch and a brass lectern placed in the church, both at the cost of Mr. Henry Oakes: the stained east window was placed in 1873 by J. Wortley esq. of Skeyton, and there are several memorial and other stained windows, erected during the period 1896-1906, and one erected in 1920 in the south aisle to George Haylock by his parents: on the north wall is an illuminated memorial, framed in oak, containing the names of the parishioners who fell in the Great War, 1914-1918: it was the work and gift of George Smith esq.; during the building of the new organ chamber in 1873 an original Norman window was discovered, built up in the wall behind the chancel arch, on the north side; the figures of the saints and angels in the roof, which were left in a mutilated state by Cromwell's soldiers, were restored in accordance with the original designs in 1899: in 1876 the arms of the ancient family of Bardolph and those of Ramsey Abbey, formerly on the church, were carved in stone and replaced, the arms of the sees of Canterbury and Norwich and those of Lt-Col. Sir Thomas Leigh Hare bart. M.V.O., D.L., J.P. the present lord of the manor, being added: the church was repaired in 1855 and affords 550 sittings. The registers date from the year 1551. The living is a rectory, united with Bexwell in 1930, joint net yearly value £ , together with 29 acres of glebe, with residence, in the gift of the Bishop of Ely, and held since 1924 by the Rev. Wilfrid Bertram Salisbury Dorman A.K.C.

The Baptist chapel, in the London road, founded 1800, has sittings for 325 persons, and there are also three Methodist chapels. The Mount Tabor Methodist chapel in Bridge street, erected in 1859, seats about 260 persons. The Wesley Methodist chapel in Lynn road, was thoroughly repaired and two vestries built in 1864, and in 1876 a new organ loft was added ; in 1903 a new organ was provided and the choir seats extended, at a cost of £200: there are 450 sittings: the schoolroom was rebuilt in 1895. A Cemetery of 2 acres, with two mortuary chapels, was formed in 1856, at a cost of about £1,600, and in 1884, was enlarged by the addition of 2 1/2 acres, at a cost of £500: it is under the control of a joint committe appointed by the Downham Market Urban District Council and the Parish Council for Downham West.

The Town Hall, erected in 1887-8, at a cost of !1,730, occupies a site facing the Market place and Bridge street, and is a structure of white and moulded brick, relieved by brown carr-stone panels in the Renaissance style, from designs by Mr. J,J,Johnson A.R.I.B.A. of London: it comprises a large hall, 74 feet by 33 feet, with a platform, which can be extended for stage plays, the hall being duly licensed; a corn exchange, committee and retiring rooms, lavatories and offices: the hall will seat 500 persons: a balcony, seating 150, was added in 1897 at a cost of £200: the Hall is under the control of a board of 12 directors. At the entrance to the town, on the London and King's Lynn road, is a memorial to the men of Downham Market who fell in the Great War, 1914-18. Their names are inscribed on the base of the memorial, which was erected in 1921 by public subscription.

The Conservative Club, opened 8 Aug 1890, occupies premises in Bridge street.

Three large fairs for horses and cattle are held yearly, Winnold fair on or about March 1st and the three following days, and other fairs on the first Friday in May and the second Friday in November; and Statute fairs for the hiring of servants are held on the Saturday fortnight before and the Saturday after Old Michaelmas Day, but they are now nothing more than pleasure fairs. The market is held every Friday in the Market square, where stands a clock tower, presented to the town by James Scott esq in 1878: it is in the Gothic style, from the designs of Mr. William Cunliffe, of London; the main and lower portions are octagonal, with a rectangular clock chamber above, presenting four illuminated dials, lighted automatically: the roof of the tower is relieved by tracery and surmounted by a vane.

The County Police Station, in Church road, has detention cells, and a charge room.

There is an extensive roller flour mill, owned by Messrs. F. A. Bird (Downham Mills) Lts; large malthouses, belonging to T.H.Wenn & Co.; and a brewery.

There are charities of about £86 yearly value, for distribution in fuel, clothing and provisions: this amount included a sum of £66, being the proportion assigned to this parish from the Hundred Acres charity, the income of which is equally divided between the parishes of Wimbotsham, Stow and Downham Market; there is also a sum of about £20 from the Batchcroft charity, and consisting of the rent of land; and there are other estates, the produce of which is applied in keeping the church in repair and maintaining the bridge over the river Ouse.

Lt-Col. Sir Thomas Leigh Hare bart. M.V.O., D.L., J.P. and Lt-Col. Edward Roger Pratt M.C., D.L., are the lords of the several manors. The land is chiefly in the hands of small owners. The area of Downham Market parish is 1,003 acres; the population of the civil parish in 1931 was 2,463, and of the ecclesiastical parish in 1921, 2,771.

The area of Downham West parish is 1,788 acres of land, 6 of water, 338 of tidal water and 17 of foreshore; the population in 1921 was 437.
