GRESHAM
A small and pleasant rural village, Gresham is located south-west of Cromer.
It has an interesting church with a distinctive Victorian-remodelled exterior. Inside, however, the church is whitewashed and notably free from decoration.
The church, with its 14th-century chancel, is a magnet for church explorers because it contains one of the finest examples in the East Anglian Seven Sacrament font series. Gresham is also the ancestral home of the Gresham family, including Sir John Gresham, founder of Gresham’s School, and Sir Thomas Gresham, founder of the Royal Exchange.
Renowned for its sandy beaches, famous Cromer crab and Banksy’s Great British Spraycation artwork, the scenic coastal town of Cromer enjoys impressive views of the medieval parish church, which boasts the highest church tower in Norfolk. The town is also home to the spectacular Victorian pier, with its restaurant and Pavilion Theatre. Other attractions include a cinema, Amazona Zoo, the Cromer Museum and the Lifeboat Museum. Cromer has its own railway station with regular services to Norwich, together with a hospital, doctors’ surgeries, dental practices, a library and the Royal Cromer Golf Club.
