18th/19th century cannon formerly stood outside as post, now removed.
This cannon may have been one of a pair that formerly stood in Gaywood Hall drive, and was removed for the Lynn Pagent in 1954. The cannon was listed in its own right and should not have been removed. It was an early 19th century Napoleonic thirty pounder (information from DoE).
See (S2) in file.

The newspaper article referring to the cannon being removed in 1976 for display in the town centre is confusing. The cannon is clearly still present outside the Exorcist's House in 2019.
