Number 20 White Hart Street was built in the early 18th century with a gault brink front over a flint core. The bay to the left led to a passage to the rear with the entrance doorway off the passage. An extension at the rear was built and the passage became internal when the house was remodelled circa 1830. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1219276 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 with 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.
