I am constantly blown away at the spirit of cooperation and support there is in Holt, and very grateful for it on behalf of the Community Centre in the season that we are in. We rely heavily on volunteer support to make a lot of the work in the Centre happen, and every week we are steadily building up a larger team of people to enable the Centre and its activities run smoothly. Our regular fundraising events calendar is getting busier every month, with fun ac - tivities such as BINGO Night firmly established and popular, and with every event planned and run almost exclusively by volunteers, that’s a lot of people needed! We really want to see the Community Centre utilised by the town on a daily basis, with fun and diverse activities for all, and this can only be achieved with a collective effort. There are so many ways to get involved at the Centre, so if you fancy seeing what’s going on and finding out if there’s a role for you please come and see us and have a chat; we are open every day from 10am. The Forties Week - end is nearly upon us, and as ever we will be hosting a number of activ - ities in the Centre such as a tea dance, Memory Concert and a special showing of The Battle of Britain Film, as well as being involved in the Town activities on the High Street this year. Look out for our Taste of the Forties Stall, selling delicious home-made cakes, savouries and bakes, as well as fresh soups and rolls, the ubiquitous spam sandwiches and tea and coffee, all at very reasonable prices. Come and have an authentic taste of the decade! Our volunteers also help to man the Charity Car Parks, so if you would like to help us raise money in this way please call in at the centre to add your name to the rotas. It’s a very special year for us as the Community Centre has been nominated as the main Charity which we are so thrilled about, so please do support us in our fundraising efforts by coming and enjoying the event. Our programme of redecoration also continues apace, with our volunteers picking up brushes and attacking the Centre with gusto, transforming it into a beautiful bright new space. The flooring has now been laid in our ArtSpaces Studios thanks to Bespoke Flooring of Holt, and we hope to complete the work in there by the end of the month ready for our artists to move in, which is hugely exciting. With smart new tables replacing our old and worn wooden ones, thanks to the generosity of the Holt Community Café and Little Star Group who between them donated 50% of the cost, we are looking like a totally different venue. Please do come and see it, you will be most welcome! For information about events, regular groups or to volunteer please call Tel: 01263 712302 01263 713427 or email [email protected]. 40 High Street, Holt, Norfolk, NR25 6BH Carolyn Burn, Chairperson

Part 2 by Leslie Kinsley I don’t remember my parents ever going anywhere on trips when I was small, though they did have one outing which I will tell you about later. I however was lucky because my best friend was John Fisher and his parents had a shop and a car. The Fishers were very good to me and when they took John to camp in Abraham’s Bosom in Wells, I went with them. They packed their Austin with a very basic tent which blew down when we had some wind and rain. At least it wasn’t far to come home that time! The best bit about those camps was the chances we had to try sea food. John and I had sticks with a meat skewer on the end. We paddled about in the muddy water till we felt the tickle of a flat fish which we then stabbed and caught. ur We also picked cockles and clams in Wells harbour which were cooked on Visit o a primus stove back at the tent. One time we were out looking for clams wroom with John’s Dad and Mr Beresford and his boys when we got caught by the sho tide. It was very frightening as Mr Fisher and Mr Beresford held us boys in Holt for up to stop us drowning. Of course we could not swim. We were so lucky though, as the fishing boats were going with the tide and they came to our inspiration rescue. We did have a sort of cinema at the Oddfellows Hall in Briston. It cost sixpence (two and a half pence) for the front seats and one shilling and sixpence (seven and a half pence) for the back seats. Charlie Bligh and Mr Parker were the projectionists and the film often used to break in those days. When this happened, Charlie used to swear very loudly, so we all learned lots of new words.

Yet without wanting to in anyway minimise the extent of human suffering and its effect, we have to hold fast to a faith and hope that we can find the comfort and consolation of God even in the darkest of places and the most difficult of times. We can find in the care, concern, support, encouragement, compassion and love of others.

Natural Lines brings together the work of Elaine Banham, James Crisp, Alison Henry, Stephen Parry, Don Seed and Kate Vogler, all of whom are drawn to aspects of the natural world for their inspiration. The artists all live and work in North Norfolk and bring their working knowledge of materials, unique approaches, finesse and freshness to a coherent and thoughtful exhibition. Natural Lines is open daily 1 to 15 September from 11am – 4pm. The exhibition is also open on Saturday July 31 as a special preview day. Entry is free and all works are for sale. The Xk race is organised and run by committee members and volunteers of Rudham Little Owls Preschool in East Rudham. All proceeds from the race will go to the preschool. Little Owls relies on fundraising and charity in order to continue to provide a high-quality preschool for the local community.

A walk in Wells footsteps takes funky shoe sculptures to new elevations Shoes tell a story. Everyone’s shoes are completely different – the colours, the styles, the shapes – but everyone’s shoes are part of them and reflect personality. The town of Wells-next-the-Sea is at it again with this summers’ artfully created shoe sculptures dotted around town. There was fantastic turn-out for the launch of this years’ trail at Wells Maltings on 12th August, 2019 which runs through to end of September. The shoes bring to life 15 historically significant houses and the project involved a cast of 100’s. We hope to reach 1,000’s of locals and visitors over the next two months. Trail design and implementation involved all 233 Wells Primary students, teaching staff, aids, administration, art volunteers, and Wells Men’s Shed. The shoes have already become a lively talking point with proud parents, grandparents, carers, friends and other family members plus local visitors coming along to walk the trail. Once the shoes were installed by Wells Men’s shed curiosity about them began to build. Onlookers said, “They look great!” Over the course of the week of install, immediate response has been one of interest and positivity. When the shoes were picked up from the school a few of the teachers and reception said, ‘Banksy, eat your heart out!’ The children have much to be proud of and it was a fun way to teach them about local heritage.

The tree itself is, in a way, a piece of Cromer history; it was given to John and Ann Graveling by Peter and Betty Coman, patrons of the legendary Captain’s Table fish and chip shop (now the Masala Twist) and the Blue Danube, which was behind the church. John and Peter’s parents were dear friends and their sons – and now grandchildren – are also very close, and every year the
¤¤ݱ;»¾±»ˆ¾ÈÝ tree gives out fruit which are just as delicious and sweet as the afternoon teas on the lawns it looks out over. ¾ˆ¤sȈ„½ÍˆÂȘ±«Â÷ Of course the chefs are less interested in the tree’s history and more in the produce, s«Â׈¾ˆ„~Ýݱ; and they have come up with this wonderful recipe to ¤±s¤»¾±»ˆ¾È݈ܻˆ¾Èü make the most of the peach harvest every year. Please do come up and visit 0sȘˆ8±Í«Ès˜«; ¾s«–8s«s’ˆ¾ us for afternoon tea (or alfresco dining of course!) and admire the $±¤È tree in all its glory.

email: [email protected] 22 The Holt Chronicle Issue 432 23rd August 2019 Norfolk Life by Richard Shepheard The Heraldic Emblem. When I returned to Norfolk more than forty years ago there were three pubs which bore the title of The Ostrich. These were at Castle Acre, Weasenham, and South Creake. I used them all but knew the one at South Creake the best and it was there that I learned that the Ostrich is the heraldic emblem of the Cokes of Holkham. Sadly, my old haunt changed its name to The Plume of Feathers and is now shut and in danger of being converted into dwellings. I say sadly because four centuries of Norfolk history are embodied in the inn sign of the Ostrich and began at Mileham in Norfolk. It was there that Sir Edward Coke (1552-1634) was born. He was educated at Norwich Grammar School and went on to become the greatest jurist of the era. Sir Edward became Attorney General to Elizabeth I and Lord Chief Justice in the reign of James I and is best remembered for prosecuting Sir Walter Raleigh and Guy Fawkes. Even King James is reputed to have confessed to being in awe of him. His offices made him immensely wealthy and he had vast estates. On this his descendants became one of the greatest families of their eras. We remember Thomas Coke, Ist Earl of Leicester of the first creation, who built Holkham Hall over a thirty-four-year period from 1734-68. And we remember Thomas William Coke, his great nephew (1754 - 1842) who became 1st Earl of Leicester of the 2nd creation, an eminent Whig politician and a great agriculturalist known as Coke of Norfolk. But why was the heraldic emblem of the ostrich given to their great forebear, Sir Edward Coke? It had been lost sight of till the late Edward Douglas Coke, 7th Earl of Leicester, researched it. It was then established that the ostrich was afforded to the great jurist because he could digest any legal matter, however complex, in the same way as an ostrich can digest the most formidable of substances. And if you're ever able to see the inn sign, you'll notice that the ostrich has in its bill a horseshoe. 4XDOL¿HG)RRW+HDOWK3URIHVVLRQDO Jennifer Hannant (MCFHP, MAFHP) 9LVLWLQJ3UDFWLFH Telephone: (01362) 680176 Mobile 07886 692285 Registered Member of The British Association of Foot Health Professionals

Norfolk Nurses to take on coastal trek to help air ambulance save lives next month There’s just one month to go until the East Anglian Air Ambulance’s flagship Trek 24 event. On Sunday 8 September hundreds of hardy walkers will take on either a 24 mile or 24-kilometre coastal walk along the North Norfolk Coast in aid of the East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA), with both routes finishing at Holkham Hall. The ‘Four for 24’ group is made up of four Norfolk nurses who have all had experience working at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital: Natasha Pickett, Clare Johnson, Louise Langham-Hill and Bev Macfarlane. This team know first-hand how important the air ambulance is in getting seriously ill or injured patients to them as quickly as possible and are taking on the 24 kilometre walking challenge to support the charity’s mission to expand their service to fly 24 hours a day. Bev MacFarlane, ex ED nurse at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and current nurse at Cromer Hospital, said: “Supporting EAAA is very close to our hearts. All of us are ED nurses or ex-ED nurses so we have seen first-hand the benefit EAAA gives to patients who have suffered a life-threatening incident or medical emergency. Personally, my husband was knocked off his bicycle in an accident and taken to Addenbrooke’s by EAAA, so I am proud to take part in Trek 24 and do my part to raise funds for this vital charity”. Trek 24 is a brand new fundraising event which has been created as part of the charity’s fundraising drive for EAAA’s Mission 24/7 – to fly their An - glia One helicopter from Norwich 24 hours a day. So far over 200 people are signed up to take part, and tickets for the event can still be purchased until 31 August. Currently the helicopter flies from Norwich between 7am and 7pm. The charity’s expert doctors and paramedics already work 24/7, with the night shift provided via rapid response vehicle. By flying 24/7, the charity estimate they will be able to attend up to 600 more missions a year then they currently do, flying all over East Anglia, not just in Norfolk. To do this, EAAA need to raise an additional £1 million a year – on top of the £12 million they already need to keep their helicopters flying and saving lives – and aim to be operational 24/7 by helicopter in 2020 - becoming the first air ambulance charity in the East of England to do so. Leanne Kershaw, EAAA Events Fundraiser, said: “It’s vitally important to have a night-time helicopter service in the area, especially in rural Norfolk where it can take so long to get around by car. We’ve designed this event to support our mission 24/7 and have been really impressed with the number of people who have already signed up to take part and will be supporting us next month. “Seeing teams like these lovely ladies entering is really special and we can’t wait to see a sea of blue EAAA supporters taking over the North Norfolk coastline next month. We hope that passers-by on the day will help to cheer these amazing walkers on!”. For more information, go to www.eaaa.org.uk

At the time of inception, only 11% of North Norfolk properties had access to speeds of 15Mbps and by the end of 2015 that number had increased to 74%. By the completion of this rollout at the end March 2020, coverage in North Norfolk is expected to have risen to 92%. This has already been surpassed, as of the end June 2019 coverage had reached 95%. Cllr Eric Seward, Deputy Leader of North Norfolk District Council and Portfolio Holder for Finance, said: “I am delighted that the Council’s significant contribution to the programme is leading to much improved broadband connectivity in North Norfolk. This is important to the local economy as it will provide a resource for businesses and make information and shopping online more accessible to residents. It also places North Norfolk in good stead in keeping face with the broadband revolution.” The Better Broadband for Norfolk (BBfN) programme aims to make Norfolk an even more attractive place to live and work, by making high speed connection as widely available as possible. This increases learning opportunities, reduces social isolation and enables people to work, shop and bank from home.
