Our Heritage and Aylsham’s Charm

Since 1908, Barnwells has been a pillar of Aylsham, a historic Cittaslow town, now reimagined as a modern retail hub while honouring its deep community roots.

The Barnwell Legacy

Founded by Charles Harry Barnwell after relocating from Hull, our newsagent has its roots in Clements & Son, established in 1839. The business thrives under new leadership, blending time-honored traditions with modern innovations, to enhance customer experience and operational efficiency.

Aylsham’s Historic Heart

Aylsham, a market town by the River Bure, thrives on its textile heritage and Cittaslow ethos, promoting quality living. Its National Trust-owned Market Place hosts weekly markets and events like the Aylsham Show, attracting over 100,000 visitors yearly via the Bure Valley Railway.

Cittaslow Towns

Aylsham is a Norfolk market town with a difference, it is one of only five UK Cittaslow towns. The very core of Cittaslow is about quality of living and bringing the community together for the common good.
