There were numerous other pubs, inns and hostels in the village, these we have records of are

The Three Tuns
Situated on the corner of Scarborough Road next to the old Great Walsingham Post office

Crown
Located beside Styman's shop

Duke's Head
Thought to be the old King's Head

Exchange Inn
In what was once Howell's Butcher's shop

Railway Tavern
One door down (south) from the Swan Entry

White Lion
Believed to be at the bottom of the High Street near to the Oddfellows Hall

Bolt and Tun
A pilgrim hostel, located on the west side of Knight's Street

In 1727 - Bond of Thomas Gore to Edward Johnson
" For collateral security for quiet enjoyment of the south end of messuage
called the Bolt or Tunn with a yard in Knight Street"


Le Horne (The Ram)
On the site of what was once Nelson's butcher's shop
Although this is often seen as a derivation of Richard I's White Hart emblem,
it may also be an echo of a pagan reference to Herne the hunter.

The Bell
Located in Church Street, most likely the last house on the north side of the road

Falcon Inn
Found at what was later 'Nuddy' Howell's hairdressers

The Swan
Unsuprisingly it was situated at the bottom (right) of Swan Entry

The Greyhound (The Hawke)
"Of a messuage and curtilage formerly called The Hawke
and now called The Greyhound on the east side of Knight Street 1762"
