Aylsham Church.
Church of St Michael and All Angels

Among the celebrated people who have lived in Aylsham is the famous landscape gardener Humphry Repton, who is buried in the church yard.

His gravestone bears an epitaph which he composed himself before his death.

Other famous Aylsham people include Joseph Thomas Clover (1825-1882), the father of modern anaesthetics who was born over a shop on the Market Place.

John Jegon, the Bishop of Norwich who died in 1617 bought the manor house, built around 1550, and enlarged it to become his country home after the original Bishop's palace at Ludham burned down. He is buried in Aylsham church.

On the wall of Barclay's Bank in the Market Place is a plaque to the memory of Christopher Layer, described as 'the last Norfolk Jacobite' who was hung, drawn and quartered in 1723.

The town was once famous for its spa which was allegedly very popular, but by the 1820s had virtually disappeared. The site of the well still exists but all traces have gone except for a trickle of water where the well once was.
