Referenced 1574 as at Market Place.

Named the HOLY LAMB in early references, owing it is said, to have being `formed from the ruins of a nearby church'.

21 Haymarket in 1783

Scene of a murder in 1797 when the licensee, John Aggas, was killed. It seems that the unfortunate innkeeper had found his brother-in-law in the cellar, providing free drinks to his friends.

Address as 10 Gentlemans Walk in 1836.

Damaged by fire 1939.

In 1972 Egon Ronay Pub Guide and again in 1977.

Offering a Business Man's Lunch from 50 pence
and Sunday Lunches from 70 pence - In February 1973.

Extensively `renovated' c1979.
Wooden paneling was removed from the walls and dumped.
Reopened after much expenditure with sawdust on the floor and glasses on open timber shelves above bar. Condemned by the health and fire authorities as a hazard. Closed and even more money poured in. Reopened with carpets and new bar fittings.
Before the refurbishment it was said to be the public house in Norfolk with the highest takings.


Scottish & Newcastle announced 10.10.1996 that the house was to be renamed the RAT & PARROT.

That enterprise lasted until May 2002 when the
name HENRYS appeared on the outer gates.

Refurbished Early October 2011 to reopen as the LAMB INN 20th October 2011 with 
official opening by Lord Mayor 26th October.
