Understanding the Area 2. Understanding the area A special place The Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty The Area was legally designated in 1968, following is a protected National Landscape that sweeps around a five-year process of consideration of its landscape quality, most of the coast of Norfolk, England. Comprising 451 statutory assessments by national conservation agencies, square kilometres of intertidal, coastal and agricultural and consultation with a broad range of stakeholders, land that stretches across the territory of three different including local landowners, residents and businesses, local authorities and one county council, the Area is as well as visitors and the wider public14. It runs along just characterised by remarkable natural landscapes, over 90 kilometres of the Norfolk coast, stretching from the and renowned as one of the few lowland areas in the mean low water mark and up to eight kilometres inland; UK to have a genuine ‘wilderness’ quality. It is physically within its boundaries there are a wealth of different split into three separate zones that encompass large natural and manmade landscapes, many rich with wildlife: sections of the coast: heaths and moors, salt marshes and high cliffs, chalk rivers and busy harbours. • The western zone lies just north of King’s Lynn, taking in parts of the Sandringham Estate (including 13. http://www.norfolkcoastaonb.org.uk/mediaps/pdfuploads/pd003377.pdf Sandringham House) and an area of the south-eastern 14. http://www.norfolkcoastaonb.org.uk/mediaps/pdfuploads/pd001161.pdf corner of the Wash • The central zone runs from Old Hunstanton to Weybourne (a stretch protected under a separate designation: the ‘North Norfolk Heritage Coast’13) and then on to a point near Bacton in the east, excluding the resort areas of Sheringham, Cromer and Mundesley • The eastern zone runs from Sea Palling to Winterton-on-Sea, taking in Winterton Dunes Landscape character areas Open coastal marshes Rolling open farmland Tributary farmland Large valley Settlement OpenDrained coastal marshescoastal marshes Rolling open farmlandPlateau farmlandTributary farmland WoodedLarge valleywith parkland SettlementEstuarine marshland Rivers DrainedCoastal coastal slopes marshes Plateau farmland Rolling heath andWooded arable with parkland CoastalEstuarine plain marshland Rivers Settled farmland Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty Coastal slopes Rolling heath and arable Coastal plain Settled farmland Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty (outline) (outline) WoodedWooded slopes slopes with estate with land estate landSmall valleys Small valleys Coastal towns and villages CoastalDunes, towns coastal andlevels andvillages resorts Dunes, coastal levels and resorts N 0 10km Wells-next 0 10km -the-Sea N Wells-next Information based upon © Crown copyright.

This nuanced status allows The statutory purpose of designating an area of land as an for the sustainable development of communities and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is to conserve economic activity, including rural businesses, in ways and enhance natural beauty. It is important to note that that further enhance the character of the area – an AONB ‘natural beauty’ is a definition not limited simply to may be uniquely beautiful but that doesn’t mean its aesthetics; it includes everything that contributes to landscape should be preserved entirely unchanged. a unique sense of place, so not only an area’s landscapes A degree of sensitive pragmatism has to be factored into but also its plants, wildlife, biodiversity, geodiversity the management of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding and manmade historical and cultural features.

  • Significance of the Landscape
    Norfolk Coast AONB Management Plan 2014-19 Supporting Information The significance of the Norfolk Coast landscape Summarised from 'The Norfolk Coast Landscape: An assessment of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' (Countryside Commission, CCP 486, 1995). This document is now out of print and not available in digital format, but a copy is available at the Norfolk Coast Partnership office if you wish to read it in full. AONB designation Judging the importance of a particular area of landscape is no easy matter. The importance and value attached to the Norfolk Coast landscape has already been reflected by its designation, in 1968, as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) as well as by the separate definition in 1975 of a more limited part of the area as a Heritage Coast. It is helpful to consider the area's special qualities under four main headings: ● the value of the landscape as part of the national and regional landscape resource , by virtue of its rarity or representativeness, and including comparison with other areas of similar landscape character and with the surrounding landscape; ● the scenic qualities of the landscape, including the particular combination of landscape elements, aesthetic qualities, local distinctiveness and 'sense of place'; ● evidence about how the landscape is perceived and valued by the general public and by writers and others who may have been inspired by it; ● other special values attached to the landscape including historical and cultural associations and special conservation interests, relating to features of outstanding nature conservation or archaeological interest. Summarised below are the ways in which the Norfolk Coast demonstrates these qualities to an extent that makes the area a truly outstanding landscape.

Introduction Regional Context Asset Inventory Risk Review Implications References About this compendium The counties of Norfolk and Suffolk have stewardship of a wealth of natural assets. The purpose of this Evidence Compendium is to present information about these assets and the potential risks to them, to provide an element of the preparatory work that will feed into a Norfolk & Suffolk 25 Year Environment Plan. Where possible, data is provided by county and also for five important natural areas within them: the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Suffolk Coasts & Heaths AONB, plus The Broads National Park, The Brecks and the Dedham Vale AONB. (These are termed ‘key natural areas’ throughout this compendium). The Introduction section outlines the scope of the work and the approach taken. This is followed with background information regarding the environmental and socio-economic setting of the two counties to provide some Regional Context. A key part of the work is a Natural Asset Inventory for Norfolk and Suffolk which is presented in six sections - Land Soil & Sub-Surface Habitats & Species Freshwater Coast & Marine Atmosphere This is followed by an examination of the current and future risks to these assets, presented in a Risk Review, with a synthesis of the Implications and outline of Priorities and next steps for the proposed Norfolk & Suffolk 25 Year Environment Plan.

  • Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office
    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom. The digital images were produced as a result of partnership projects with other groups and organizations, so we are not able to supply copies of whole registers (either as hard copies or on CD or in any other digital format), although in most cases we have permission to provide printout copies of individual entries.

  • Next the Sea: Eccles and the Anthroposcenic
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository@Nottingham Next the Sea: Eccles and the Anthroposcenic David Matless Accepted for publication in the Journal of Historical Geography, May 2018 Abstract This paper considers the Anthroposcenic, whereby landscape becomes emblematic of processes marking the Anthropocene, through a specific site, Eccles on the northeast coast of Norfolk, England. The coast has become a key landscape for reflections on the Anthropocene, not least through processes of erosion and sea level change; the title phrase ‘next the sea’ here carries both spatial and temporal meaning. Through Eccles the paper investigates cultural-historical Anthropocene signatures over the past two centuries. Between 1862 and 1895 a church tower stood on Eccles beach; in preceding decades the tower was half-buried in sand dunes, but emerged after these were eroded by the sea. In 1895 the tower fell in a storm, although fragments remained intermittently visible over the following century, depending on the state of the beach. The paper takes Eccles tower as a focus for the exploration of themes indicative and/or anticipatory of the Anthropocene, including sea defence and geological speculation on land and sea levels, Eccles featuring in Charles Lyell’s Principles of Geology. The tower became a visitor attraction, and discussions around the 1895 fall are examined, in relation to the spectacle of ruin, claims over the site, and anxieties over defence. The periodic beach exposure of bones from the former churchyard prompted reflections on mortality, also present in literary engagements with Eccles by figures such as Henry Rider Haggard.

The AONB designated in the same year incorporated the original AGLV area but was much larger including the Greensand Valleys, the whole of the Frensham / Devils Punch Bowl plateau and parts of the Wooded Weald.
