- **Event Description**: Diss is a small market town on the Norfolk and Suffolk borders, built around a six acre Mere. It lies within the heavy clay, wood-pasture region of South Norfolk. In the 1960's John Betjeman was an advocate for the town and fought to stop London overspill. He commented on "The happy inconsequence of everything, the way old houses go well with less old ones" It is likely that the town was rebuilt around 1280 under the instruction of Lord of the manor Robert Fitzwalter. During the 1400s to early 1800s hempen linen and cloth weaving were the predominant industry in the town. In the early 19th century, the linen trade declined but, in its place, farming prospered. The coming of the railway to Diss in 1849 enabled it to thrive once again. The medieval layout is still evident today and Jess will discuss how this has evolved through the centuries.
