Martham: Chapmans Butchers closes after 100 years in village

Chapman’s Butchers, on The Green in Martham, near Great Yarmouth, ceased trading on Saturday, April 1. The closure comes one year after owners Philip and Francesca Dowe put the premises and its accompanying four-bedroom house on the market. Ms Dowe said: “We have been unable to sell it after being on the market for a year.

“It is very sad, but it is time for us to slow down and enjoy some free time together after 27 years of ownership.” Mr Dowe took on the business in 1996 having worked there previously. He had started there as a 14-year-old butcher’s boy under its previous owner George Chapman.

On Facebook, Ms Dowe thanked customers for giving the shop a wonderful send off. 

“We have been overwhelmed with all the lovely gifts, cards and good wishes,” she said.
