Welcome to Goodrick Place a friendly community of houses in Swaffham.
The name of the town derives from the Old English Swǣfa hām the homestead of Swabians some of them presumably came with the Angles and Saxons.
By the 14th and 15th centuries Swaffham had an emerging sheep and wool industry. As a result of this prosperity, the town has a large market place.
The market cross here was built by George Walpole, 3rd Earl of Orford and presented to the town in 1783. On the top is the statue of Ceres the Roman goddess of the harvest. The former Corn Hall, which was designed by Mathias Goggs, was completed in 1858.
