Tips from the Community
Peckover House is a secret gem, an oasis hidden away in an urban environment. A classic Georgian merchant's town house, it was lived in by the Peckover family for 150 years. The Peckovers were staunch Quakers, which meant they had a very simple lifestyle yet at the same time they ran a successful private bank. Both facets of their life can be seen as you explore the house and as you wander the gardens. The gardens themselves are outstanding -0.8 hectares (2 acres) of sensory delight, complete with orangery, summer-houses, croquet lawn and rose garden with a varitety of species of rose.

One notable historical feature in Walpole St. Andrew is its church, St. Andrew's Church, which is a Grade I listed building. This church, like many old churches in Norfolk, displays impressive medieval architecture and is a prominent landmark in the village.

Wisbech has really suffered lately. The town centre is a sea of empty or down at heel shops. Shame, as some of the local buildings show how grand this place used to be.
