Swaffham, Market town in Breckland, Norfolk, England.

The central market square of Swaffham features Georgian architecture with red-brick buildings and white-trimmed windows surrounding a prominent market cross.

During the 14th and 15th centuries, Swaffham developed into a commercial center due to its expanding sheep and wool industries.

The Swaffham Market continues its centuries-old tradition every Saturday, bringing together local farmers, artisans, and merchants in the town center.

The town provides direct bus connections to King's Lynn and Norwich, with services running multiple times throughout the day from the Market Place.

The local parish church contains wooden angel carvings along its roof, reflecting Norfolk's medieval ecclesiastical craftsmanship tradition.
