The Cardinals Hat

In Back Street. The Cardinals Hat is an early 17th century house with an extension of exposed 16th century timber framing and a jetty. It is believed to have been a merchant's house, as a number of weavers are recorded to have worked here in the 15th century. The building may originally have had a thatched roof, and there are indications that there used to be an undercroft, which may have been used for storing cloth. Back Street once used to be the main thoroughfare. Most of the buildings, many of them shops, were destroyed by the fire in 1543. Reepham is an attractive Georgian market town which has had its status since 1277; by the 18th century the Reepham brewery was established and the market was supported by a maximum of thirteen public houses. Three churches share the same churchyard: Reepham's church of St. Mary is joined by its choir vestry to St. Michael’s (facing the Market Place, once serving the parish of Whitwell), and a third church, burned down in 1543) that belonged to Hackford. Only a fragment of the tower wall remains. Many of the buildings around the Market Place retain the wattle and daub, flint and brick and clay lump of even earlier buildings, many of which were rebuilt in Georgian and Victorian times. Reepham is a significant stop on the Marriott's Way cycle and footpath.
