Port of Wells History

The Port of Wells is a small coastal port located on the North Norfolk coast in eastern England. The port has a long and fascinating history that dates back over 1,000 years.

The earliest known mention of the port dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086, which recorded the existence of a small fishing village called "Welle" (later known as Wells-next-the-Sea). By the 13th century, the village had grown into a small port and was exporting wool, grain, and other goods to Europe.
