Putting Aside a Day to Go Shopping Is Great. but Putting Aside a Day to Uncover a Bunch of Secret Treasures Is Even Better. Litt Putting aside a day to go shopping is great. But putting aside a day to uncover a bunch of secret treasures is even better. Little shops selling one-off gems, vintage stores hiding timeless garments, boutique delis full of handmade pieces and, of course, our very own Barefoot Living ​ full of gorgeous knick-knacks. The mere mention of small town browsing gets our nerves-jangingling, and that’s why we love this slice of seaside life -- the North Norfolk Coast is home to a gorgeous array of tidbit shops, each one packed with treasures upon treasures. From vintage emporiums to whimsical five-and-dimes, some full of antiques, others homeware and clothes, and yet all of them are a shopper’s heaven. It doesn’t matter where you are staying in North Norfolk -- Burnham to Blakeney, Hunstanton to Holt -- there are a hundred little-known stores where you can score unbelievable items: the good, the great, the rare and unique. And in that spirit, here are our favourite places to head when a little bit of retail therapy is well overdue. Spoiler alert: your Christmas gifts just went from zero to awesome. ​ 1. Barefoot Living in Burnham Market ​ ​ This is the place to head for all things home. Barefoot Living does cosy home like nowhere else, the kind that make you want to curl up in front of the fire, slurp on a mug of hot cocoa and watch the leaves slowly fall from the trees outside. Matches in a bottle, gilded photo frames, soy candles and reed diffusers, animal jugs and creature mugs and everything in between. But it’s their gifts section that will help you get all your Christmas shopping done in one go this festive season. Where to stay: Alice House is an award-winning Grade II Listed home in BM that sleeps 6 ​ ​ ​ 2. The Old Stables at Bayfield Hall ​ ​ Hear the words “antique emporium” and you’d be forgiven for imagining a dusty, windowless warehouse packed to the beams with cow portraits and brass candelabras, but this is anything but. No, this is a treasure trove of antiques set in the unforgettable heart of Norfolk Norfolk. Found in the old stables of Bayfield Hall, this magical place is home to dealers of every taste. Hardwood furniture curated by Matthew Higham, 19th Century mirrors unearthed by Jane Cave and everything in between: vintage curtains, gilt frames, painted masterpieces and chandeliers from around the world. Trust us, no one has ever visited The Old Stables just once. Where to stay: River Cottage in Letheringsett was made for relaxing post-splurge and sleeps 6. ​ ​ 3. The Hare & The Hen in Burnham Deepdale ​ ​ There are places that try to please everyone and there are places that please the wild and whimsical, those who want to decorate their homes with bits and pieces that standout; tidbits that look and feel different. The Hare & The Hen is that place, and it is all thanks to Philippa Lee who’s pottery has turned this unassuming space into one of the most popular shopping spots on the coast, especially with those who have a soft-spot for high quality, handmade pots. From fun-loving animals pieces to life-loving coastal scenes, this is as North Norfolk as it gets. And that’s just the start. There’s also a range of glass gifts, wood wonders, jewellery, prints, handmade baskets and loads more, all created by talented local artists. Where to stay: Redshanks is that place with the best views of the coast and sleeps 12. ​ ​ ​ 4. Past Caring in Holt ​ ​ Don’t come here for anything contemporary... or older than the 1960s. Instead, come here for handpicked finds that date everywhere from the 1800s to the Swinging Sixties. Stepping into Past Caring is like stepping into a time machine with a broken dial, every inch of the place crammed full of bits and bobs you’ll wither want to take home or add to your Instagram. There are Victorian capes and Edwardian skirts, camisoles & petticoats that date back centuries, velvet jackets from the Roaring Twenties and lace dresses from every decade. 1950s cocktail dresses, 1940s crepe dresses, suits, jackets, hats and handbags… and shoes. Lots of shoes and even more vintage jewellery. This is the Aladdins Cave you can’t get enough of. Where to stay: 1 Carpenters Cottage is a luxury Grade II listed property in the heart of holt that ​ ​ sleeps 4. 5. Little Blood in Walsingham ​ ​ This is a shop everyone needs to pop into, even if it’s just to hear yourself say “wow”. Little Blood is as one-off as they come; a teeny-tiny bolt hole of a place, hidden in the wilds of the North Norfolk countryside, and full of the weird and the wonderful, the quirky and unique, the vintage and the varied. Ever evolving, this old brick and flint building is home to an almost anarchic blend of styles & periods: wacky furniture for eccentrics, lighting that creates a presence, dramatic pieces bursting with personality and historical moments that know how to have fun. There are no rules in this Walsingham store, but who needs rules? Where to stay: Orbis House is a beautifully eclectic cottage in Little Walsingham that sleeps 4. ​ ​ ​ 6. Made In Cley in Cley-Next-The-Sea ​ ​ Just knowing the names of the four founders should be enough to entice some intrigue: Wolfgang, Gunhild, Barbara and Quay, all of whom met at University and then set-up shop in the small coastal village of Cley-next-the-Sea; a shop fit for these potters and goldsmiths with its beautiful Regency styling and original fittings. The odds of this being a hit were slim, and the chances of them still being here 35 years later even slimmer, but that just proves how immensely talented and highly regarded this team is. From outstanding stoneware to decorative jewellery, everything that is made here is truly made here, and you won’t believe it until you see ​ ​ ​ ​ it. Where to stay: Swanton Cottage is set in five-acres of woodlands near Blakeney & sleeps 12. ​ ​ 7. Driftwood Glass near Brancaster Staithe ​ ​ Some things have to be seen, touched and gawped at before they can be believed, and what this dynamic duo can do with glass is one of those things. Taking all their inspiration from the wild and stunning North Norfolk coastline (okay, and the countryside too), Rose and Keiran make everything from ducks to boats, crabs to chickens, framed artwork and textured bowls, coasters, mirrors and so much more -- and they do it all using the most vibrant, delightful, forget-me-not colours of glass. The only problem is, you won’t want to give these gifts away, so you might want to make some space on your mantlepieces and coffee tables because you’ll want these amazing creations on every spare surface. Where to stay: Skylark is one of North Norfolk’s most unique homes and sleeps 8. ​ ​ Thanks for reading.

  • Norfolk Through a Lens
    NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service 2 NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service History and Background The systematic collecting of photographs of Norfolk really began in 1913 when the Norfolk Photographic Survey was formed, although there are many images in the collection which date from shortly after the invention of photography (during the 1840s) and a great deal which are late Victorian. In less than one year over a thousand photographs were deposited in Norwich Library and by the mid- 1990s the collection had expanded to 30,000 prints and a similar number of negatives. The devastating Norwich library fire of 1994 destroyed around 15,000 Norwich prints, some of which were early images. Fortunately, many of the most important images were copied before the fire and those copies have since been purchased and returned to the library holdings. In 1999 a very successful public appeal was launched to replace parts of the lost archive and expand the collection. Today the collection (which was based upon the survey) contains a huge variety of material from amateur and informal work to commercial pictures. This includes newspaper reportage, portraiture, building and landscape surveys, tourism and advertising. There is work by the pioneers of photography in the region; there are collections by talented and dedicated amateurs as well as professional art photographers and early female practitioners such as Olive Edis, Viola Grimes and Edith Flowerdew. More recent images of Norfolk life are now beginning to filter in, such as a village survey of Ashwellthorpe by Richard Tilbrook from 1977, groups of Norwich punks and Norfolk fairs from the 1980s by Paul Harley and re-development images post 1990s.

  • Blakeney & Cley Dark Skies Policy
    BLAKENEY & CLEY-NEXT-THE-SEA DARK SKIES POLICY Blakeney and Cley-Nest-the-Sea in North Norfolk are small villages, at the heart of both is a Conservation Area. They are surrounded by the sea and open countryside much of which has AONB or SSSI status. North Norfolk is the 15th darkest district in the country, and only just across the Glaven Valley is the Wiveton Downs Dark Sky Discovery Site, one of only a few in Norfolk, which provides special opportunities for people to enjoy the dark skies. Dark skies help the villages of Blakeney and Cley retain the rural character we all love and we want to play our part to preserve these. Over the years more light has been introduced into these villages as houses and businesses are renovated and enlarged with more windows, sky lights and outside lighting, which on occasion is overly bright, sometimes misdirected and not always carefully timed. Norfolk Coast Partnership have, as part of their 20-year vision that the area will be essentially unspoilt and with dark skies that show the richness and detail of constellations. Let’s work with them to achieve this. Norfolk is the eighth darkest county in England: NightBlight map 2016 by the Campaign to Protect Rural England showing areas of more or less light pollution. The areas with the brightest light are shown in brown/red/pink; the darkest skies are blue/green; medium bright is yellow/orange. North Norfolk is the 15th darkest district out of the 326 districts in England: North Norfolk AONB on CPRE’s NightBlight map 2016.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Waller 1 An Erasmian Pilgrimage to Walsingham By Gary Waller Professor of Literature, Cultural Studies and Drama Studies Purchase College, State University of New York In the summer of 2006, I undertook what I will explain was an ‘Erasmian’ pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, in remote northern Norfolk. I did so partly for scholarly purposes, partly from nostalgia for peregrinations there in student days. What I discovered--as in the case of so many folk who longen “to goon on pilgrimages”--was an unexpected measure of the uncanny and I think that fellow peregrinators, scholars and travelers alike, might be amused by sharing my discoveries. Erasmus, who made pilgrimages to Walsingham in 1512 and 1524, traveling (as I did) from Cambridge, gave a detailed, though fictionalized, description in one of the dialogues of his Colloquies.1 He went to Walsingham when it was England’s most important medieval Marian pilgrimage site, surpassed only by the shrine of St Thomas a Becket in Canterbury as the most popular place of pilgrimage in England,.

  • The Reformation, the Via Crucis, and the Calvary of Walsingham
    www.boston-catholic-journal.com [email protected] The Reformation, The Via Crucis, and the Calvary of Walsingham We must recognize, in justice, that in the period leading up to, and finally culminating in, the Reformation, there were scandals and abuses within the Church that needed addressing. Far too much wealth had accumulated in the hands of some. This called for both financial reform and social improvement to meet the needs an conditions of the future. Wherever human nature exists, there is always a continuing process of birth, suffering, death, and resurrection at all levels of life. It is true of the Church as well as the individual Christian. In 1534 King Henry VIII, in an abortive attempt to secure his divorce from Queen Catherine, was encouraged by his advisors to take the whole affair of the divorce into his own hands and arrogate to himself powers which had never been the prerogative of the English monarchy, to ignore the teachings of the Church and the Pope in Rome and to declare himself as the supreme head of the church in England, and it was from this decision that so much sin and violent discord followed. Those who openly resisted and refused to acknowledge and sign the Act of Supremacy, priests and people alike, were martyred. St. Thomas More, the Chancellor of England and 1 St. John Fisher are among the most notable, but there were many, many others. Many. No one is England could have foreseen how deeply wounding and widely destructive this severance would actually be.

There will also be specially organised additions such as a low-intensity programme of talks and workshops for parents and children, a renewal of marriage vows, marriage ministry, a blessing of the children, evening Adoration, and a celebratory supper on Thursday evening. Whilst the Shrine is organising some activities, families will be welcome to initiate sports and other entertainment. A popular event last summer was a Rosary walk along the Pilgrim Way on the Feast of the Assumption, followed by a candle-lit procession through the village with parishioners of the various churches in little Walsingham, ending with fireworks at the Anglican Shrine. There will be plenty of spare time scheduled to take advantage of the local places of interest including the sandy beaches and nature reserves alongside other places of interest in the area that make Norfolk a popular holiday destination for families. More information will be provided on your arrival. Accommodation Options Families are invited either to camp by the Shrine or to stay at the Shrine’s accommodation in the village.
