King's Lynn has a divine doorscape, and it harbours one of my favourite doors. It belongs to Clifton House which is a remarkable building. It was a merchant's house, founded in the C13th, and has grown organically ever since then.

The principal facade is of 1708 and hides a beautiful barley twist doorcase.
