North Norfolk District Council has confirmed that work to fix the Grade II-listed crinkle crankle wall - behind the Fakenham Connect building and the town’s community centre - has been completed. Work was reported to cost £120,000, but an additional £104,000 was given to the project, which in total cost £224,000. The project was extended to provide more advanced structural works and the increased budget was allocated to protect the heritage asset. Crinkle crankle walls are thought to originate in ancient Egypt. There are many found in East Anglia, but they are relatively common in Suffolk, where there are more than 50 examples.
