 Medieval English urban history - Lynn - Origins
This is because it was taken under the wing of the Bishop of Norwich in the late eleventh century, one of the earliest of numerous deliberate seigneurial foundations of "new towns" that took place between that time and the mid-thirteenth century.
By mid-century the population had increased to the point where settlement had spread north of the Purfleet, facilitated by the presence of a bridge across the fleet; part of the population expansion was due to the introduction of a Jewish community, which was the target of attacks in 1190, perhaps mainly from foreigners in Lynn.
The Bishop treated this secondary area of settlement like a separate town, confirming (ca.1146-50) to the settlers on this "new land" a market (on Tuesdays) and fair they had probably already established, and founding the chapel of St. Nicholas there to provide for the spiritual life of the residents of this northern section of Lynn.

iscord between Bishop and community is again discovered in 1295, and in 1298 a cause is specified in that the burgesses' enlargement of the town ditch and building of sluices to keep water therein had resulted in encroachment on episcopal territory.
The result was a definitive restoration of judicial jurisdiction to the Bishop in 1350.[60] A new composition in 1352 restored the status quo, the Bishop again recognising the mayoralty and the burgesses bowing to the terms of the 1309 agreement.[61]
And in 1404 the Bishop was suing the burgesses for disseising him of 120 acres of land and for intimidating members of his Council.
