About Fencing in Harleston
Harleston in Norfolk sits close to the Suffolk border on the banks of the River Waveney, and its weekly Wednesday market has continued a tradition dating back to 1259, when the town was granted market charter status along with the right to hold an eight day fair, granted to Roger Bigod, the fourth Earl of Norfolk, by Henry III. The town grew up at a point where a bridge carried the London to Great Yarmouth road across the Waveney, and historic coaching inns such as the Swan Hotel still reflect the importance of that route through the town. Harleston's narrow streets and timber framed buildings preserve much of this long history, and the town has an unusual connection to early American settlement, since some of the first Pilgrim Fathers who sailed to found colonies in America once lived in the area.
