Number 22 Miller's Lane is a house in flint with gault brick dressings dated 1831 on the gable end. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1297896 Once the ancient capital of East Anglia, Thetford is a market town established at a crossing of the River Little Ouse. A major centre of Boudica’s Iceni tribe and there is an Iron Age fort. Later came a Norman castle and an important priory. Thetford is the birthplace of 18th century radical Thomas Paine, whose thinking encouraged American independence and the abolition of slavery. After World War II, Thetford became an "overspill town", taking people from London.
