TRANSACTIONS OF THE NORFOLK & NORWICH NATURALISTS’ SOCIETY The Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists’ Society has for its 1. The practical study of Natural Science. 2. The protection, by its influence with landowners and others, of indigenous species requiring protection, and the circulation of information which may dispel prejudices leading to their destruc- tion. 3. The discouragement of the practice of destroying the rarer species of birds that occasionally visit the County, and of exterminating rare plants in their native localities. 4. The record of facts and traditions connected with the habits, dis- tribution and former abundance or otherwise of animals and plants which have become extinct in the County and the use ; of all legitimate means to prevent the extermination of existing species, more especially those known to be diminishing in numbers. 5. The publication of Papers on Natural History contributed to the Society, especially such as relate to the County of Norfolk. 6. The facilitating of a friendly intercourse between local Naturalists by means of Meetings for the reading and discussion of papers and for the exhibition of specimens, supplemented by Field-meetings and Excursions, with a view to extending the study of Natural Science on a sound and systematic basis.

Water here is about 3 feet deep. Front cover: more machiney. n Monday 12th May, six- teen members of the BAHS ...and a Church or two Oset off for the water-pow- ered Sawmill in Gunton Park. The rain held off and we were wel- comed by Barré Funnell and his enthusiastic band of volunteers. Our visit began with a short climb up to the Lake behind the Mill; from here we could see the dam which held back the water needed to power the wheel. Once back under cover, the water was released and we watched, in some amazement, as the Saw chugged its way along the length of a 12 foot lime log to create a long, even plank of wood. The whole process took about 40 minutes. This historic Mill was built in the early days of the Industrial Revolution, between 1821 & 1824. It served the needs of the Estate for a hundred years until after the first world war, when it was replaced by a horse-drawn portable steam engine. Subsequently, the Watermill fell into disrepair and the skilled craftsmen who had looked after it became redundant. A circular frame-saw, powered by steam, continued to be used until the mid-Thirties.

    The Creation of Sheringham Park 1804-1839

    BEFORE THE RHODODENDRONS: the creation of Sheringham Park 1804-1839 The National Trust is one of our ‘Useful Links’, or you can reach their details about Sheringham Park directly from here: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/sheringham-park Now, thousands of visitors are attracted by the extensive plantings of rhododendrons (not introduced until the early 1850s), expansive parkland and views of the sea; but Humphry Repton, the self-styled ‘landscape gardener’ largely responsible for Sheringham Park, would have been mortified at the thought of what he called ‘felicity hunters’ being within striking distance of ‘The Bower’ (now known as Sheringham Hall, a private residence). The only visitors he aimed to please were those invited by the estate owner who, from October 1811, was Mr Abbott Upcher. But the transformation of the land to make his scheme possible began seven years before that, and the whole story covers thirty-five years. Thanks to the collection of Repton family papers held by Norfolk Record Office, it is possible to unpick the ‘improvement’ and have a privileged view of the intrigue behind this lengthy scheme. In 1804 the estate, comprising a modest farmhouse, manorial rights and 1074 acres of land, was surveyed with a view to sale by its owner, Mr Cook Flower. One of Humphry Repton’s sons, William, was a solicitor practising with his uncle in Aylsham and acted as Mr Flower’s agent. His advice to Mr Flower was that the estate would be worth considerably more if he inclosed the common land. He was well-placed to give this advice because his firm, Adey Repton & Co., undertook many local inclosure schemes thanks to streamlined legislation that allowed local commissioners to be appointed.

    Bibliography Sources for Further Reading May 2011 National Trust Bibliography

    Bibliography Sources for further reading May 2011 National Trust Bibliography Introduction Over many years a great deal has been published about the properties and collections in the care of the National Trust, yet to date no single record of those publications has been established. The following Bibliography is a first attempt to do just that, and provides a starting point for those who want to learn more about the properties and collections in the National Trust’s care. Inevitably this list will have gaps in it. Do please let us know of additional material that you feel might be included, or where you have spotted errors in the existing entries. All feedback to [email protected] would be very welcome. Please note the Bibliography does not include minor references within large reference works, such as the Encyclopaedia Britannica, or to guidebooks published by the National Trust. How to use The Bibliography is arranged by property, and then alphabetically by author. For ease of use, clicking on a hyperlink will take you from a property name listed on the Contents Page to the page for that property. ‘Return to Contents’ hyperlinks will take you back to the contents page. To search by particular terms, such as author or a theme, please make use of the ‘Find’ function, in the ‘Edit’ menu (or use the keyboard shortcut ‘[Ctrl] + [F]’). Locating copies of books, journals or specific articles Most of the books, and some journals and magazines, can of course be found in any good library. For access to rarer titles a visit to one of the country’s copyright libraries may be necessary.

    West Runton Sheringham Park Walk

    West Runton Sheringham Camping and Caravanning Park walk Route Summary A linear walk from our Club Site to The National Trust Sheringham Park, approximately 7km/4.4 miles in one direction. The route takes in rolling hills with views across the sea, heaths and commons to parkland designed in 1812 and still breathtaking today. Route Overview Category: Walking Rating: Unrated Surface: Moderate Date Published: 9th July 2018 Difficulty: Easy Length: 7.000 km / 4.38 mi Last Modified: 9th July 2018 Description This route offers undulating countryside with superb seascapes as well as glimpses of beautiful natural habitats containing native species of flora and fauna. This landscape was sculpted by an ancient industry that no longer exists in the area but was vital to our ancestors. Sheringham Park itself is landscaped with stunning displays of Rhododendrons, Azaleas, mature woodlands and other exotic trees and shrubs that have been collected over 100 years. The initial section of the walk takes you over ancient common land, grazed regularly until the end of the 19th Century. After becoming overgrown the land is now grazed again by horses and cattle, alongside the ever-present rabbits. This has allowed more open areas to develop in which wildflowers flourish along with ground-nesting and feeding birds. The ridgeline from Beacon Hill to Stone Hill is marked with small circular pits that are the remains of Saxon iron workings. The ore would have been dug directly from the glacial deposits forming the hill ridge and then mixed with charcoal from nearby trees. If you're lucky it's still possible to find some slag, the remains of smelted iron ore.
