Re Hengist and Horsa: David Clarke reminded me that Hengist and Horsa were
the Saxon chieftains who first settled in what is now England:  I offer  him
my appologies.. I took it that the eight legs of Sleipnir belonged to the
mythological ancestors of Hengist and Horsa;  In Mythology everything is
possible. Jacqueline BdJ

Hello Reinhard,

in the text
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buildings_in_King%27s_Lynn#Hanseatic_Warehouse
they
write "...the Hanseatic Warehouse is the only surviving
Hansa<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanseatic_League>building in
England." So it's original, hm?

Thanks, Marlou.

Sure. The Warehouse is, but my question was about the Lattice House:

I am wondering about the Lattice House in King's Lynn, situated on Chapel
Street by Market Lane, in Jews Lane Ward. These days it houses a pub of the
Wetherspoon chain.

Here is a picture: http://tinyurl.com/27c837.
Here is a series: http://tinyurl.com/23vkwf

It looks to me very, very much like a building of Northern Germany, and I
wonder if there's a Hanseatic connection. Or is it typical of 16th-century
buildings in Norfolk? If so, is it coincidental, or were contacts with the
old country maintained?

Reinhard/Ron
