St Mary's House is a large 19th century property that has been extended and converted into flats. 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.

This building houses the Thetford (South Norfolk) Magistrates' Court. It stands on the bank of the Little Ouse River to the south of the town centre.

The Girls' Grammar School was established in Victorian times as a counterpart to the very long-established boys' school across the road. The two schools merged in 1975 and became an independent grammar school in 1981. The former girls' school buildings are now used to accommodate the junior section of the school.
