The Canary and Linnet


The local pub in Little Fransham, the Canary and Linnet is just off the A47. Its name derives from the fact that the village is halfway between Norwich and King's Lynn ('canaries' and 'linnets' being the respective nicknames associated with each town and especially Norwich F.C. and King's Lynn F.C.). Great Fransham had a public house called Chequers which is now a private dwelling.


Great Fransham is served by All Saints church[4] and Little Fransham by St.Marys[5] both in the Benefice of Great Dunham.[6]


There is a commercially working forge with public demonstrations available.
