  • History of Royal Cromer Golf Club Established 1888
    History of Royal Cromer Golf Club established 1888 Information obtained from minute books, letters, members records, journals and periodicals. Royal Cromer Golf Club History Established 1888 Royal Cromer Golf Club owes its existence to the enthusiasm and love of the game of a Mr. Henry Broadhurst M.P., a Scot who lived at 19, Buckingham Street, The Strand, London. In the 1880's, whilst holidaying in Cromer, he recognised the potential of land to the seaward of the Lighthouse as a possible site for a Links Course. The popularity of North Norfolk at this time had been noted in the London City Press in a report dated 5th September 1886: "The public are greatly indebted to railway enterprise for the opening up of the East Coast. More bracing air and delightful sands are not to be found in any part of England. The only drawback is that the country is rather flat. This remark, however, does not apply to Cromer, which bids fair to become the most popular watering place, it being entirely free from objectionable features". The site of the proposed golf course was owned by the then Lord Suffield KCB, who kindly consented to the request of Broadhurst and some twenty other enthusiasts to rent the land. The Club was instituted in the Autumn of 1887 with Lord Suffield as President. Doubtless it was his friendship and influence with the Prince of Wales which precipitated the Prince's gracious patronage of the infant club on 25th December 1887. Thus Cromer had a Royal Golf Club even before its official opening the following January.

This context appraisal, based on fieldwork and a study of the existing literature, expands on the particular features of the towns of Northampton, Daventry and Towcester and a number of surrounding villages. The section begins with an analysis of West Northamptonshire at the national and regional levels. It covers the geographical, historic, socio-economic and spatial features that shaped its development and led to the current conditions. This is followed by a review of each town, examining the typology of movement; the historic development; and the streetscape, townscape and architecture of the various areas within each town. Together these elements embody the local distinctiveness of Northampton, Daventry and Towcester and their surrounding villages. The information contained in this section is not only applicable to development within the WNDC’s boundary but can also be drawn upon in the consideration of new development within the

  • Golf Course at Eastward Ho! L 11-20-12
    The Golf Course at Eastward Ho! William L. Healy, MD 2012 1 The Golf Course at Eastward Ho! "The Golf Course at Eastward Ho!" was written to tell the story of the golf course and to describe the eighteen golf holes at Eastward Ho! The impetus for this project was the author's amateur interest in golf course architecture and a desire to apply an evolving knowledge of golf course design to the golf course at Eastward Ho! This essay is not a comprehensive history of Eastward Ho! Edward Harriman (1973, 1978) and Virginia Doherty (1988) have previously recorded the history of the club. This project is limited to the story of the golf course and descriptions of the historic, topographic, architectural, and strategic characteristics of the eighteen golf holes. The hole-by-hole discussions include: yardage from the back tees, par, design characteristics, comments on the history, land, and features of the hole, thoughts on strategic playing of the hole, and names which have been suggested for the hole. "The Golf Course at Eastward Ho!" was initially written by and for the author with no intended audience. A brief essay was begun in 2009, and it has evolved to the present manuscript. The opinions expressed are personal, and they do not represent the club or any committee at Eastward Ho! This work was not authorized by Eastward Ho! The information presented is believed to be accurate, and references have been provided. However, this project is a work in progress. If readers discover incomplete information or unintended errors, please send suggestions for improvement.
