Cromer, Norfolk


Kearsley's Traveller's Entertaining Guide through Great Britain(1803)

Cromer. A sea-port town, which was once larger that it is now. It had two churches, one of which, with many of the houses, was swallowed up by an inundation of the sea. It is chiefly inhabited and frequented by fishermen, especially for lobsters, which are caught here and carried to Norwich and London. It is a rocky coast. Near it is Felbridge, a house of the right honourable William Wyndham, esq. Here are also houses of J. Gurney, esq. and H Partridge, esq. And some miles on the L. Beeston, Cremer Cremer, esq. and C. Flower, esq.

Quotations
 Chapter 12 
"You should have gone to Cromer, my dear, if you went any where. Perry was a week at Cromer once, and he holds it to be the best of all the sea-bathing places. A fine open sea, he says, and very pure air. And, by what I understand, you might have had lodgings there quite away from the sea -- a quarter of a mile off -- very comfortable. You should have consulted Perry."
 Chapter 12 
If Mr. Perry can tell me how to convey a wife and five children a distance of an hundred and thirty miles with no greater expense or inconvenience than a distance of forty, I should be as willing to prefer Cromer to South End as he could himself."
