The <strong>Holt</strong> & <strong>Sheringham</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> <strong>2010</strong> “Where beams of imagination play,The memory’s soft figures melt away.” – Alexander Pope
Welcome to The <strong>Holt</strong> & <strong>Sheringham</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> <strong>2010</strong>.<br />
This is the second publication we have done for <strong>Holt</strong> and the first time we’ve included <strong>Sheringham</strong> in<br />
the same guide. We hope you find it as easy to use and informative as our previous publications. We<br />
would like to thank all those that support us during our time creating these <strong>Guide</strong>s.<br />
You’ll find that the sections are colour coded and the towns are split into their own areas so you<br />
can find what you’re looking for with ease. As usual we have included an events diary to help you<br />
plan your year ahead and a whole host of useful numbers, websites and information about <strong>Holt</strong>,<br />
<strong>Sheringham</strong> and the local area.<br />
North <strong>Norfolk</strong> is a stunning part of the county, the coastline being among our favourite places to visit<br />
at any time of the year. With <strong>Holt</strong> just a stones throw from the coast and <strong>Sheringham</strong> right on the<br />
beach, whether partaking in a spot of retail therapy or enjoying some fabulous weather on a day out<br />
at the beach you will find some great places to visit. With the connecting trains from <strong>Sheringham</strong> to<br />
<strong>Holt</strong> why not enjoy both towns while you’re there – they really are worth taking the time to explore.<br />
Locals and visitors should both find this booklet useful all year round, of course if you have any<br />
feedback we would be glad to hear from you.<br />
Enjoy reading our <strong>Guide</strong>, and even more so, visiting both <strong>Holt</strong> and <strong>Sheringham</strong> to see what<br />
wonderful little towns they are.<br />

<strong>Holt</strong> - a f ine Georgian town.<br />
<strong>Holt</strong> is a special place with a distinctive personality. It’s popular with<br />
both residents and visitors because the streets, alleyways and attractive<br />
buildings have retained the historic character of the town. That’s why people<br />
love to visit the individual shops, explore the galleries and sample the<br />
restaurants and delis. The experience is enjoyable and totally different from<br />
the boring sameness and global brands of so many high streets today.<br />
In 2008 <strong>Holt</strong> celebrated the 300th year anniversary of the Great Fire of<br />
<strong>Holt</strong> of 1708, an event which destroyed most of buildings in the town.<br />
(Learn more about the Great Fire by visiting Shirehall Plain and seeing the<br />
commemorative sign there). But tragedy was turned into triumph when the<br />
re-building programme produced the beautiful Georgian market town of <strong>Holt</strong><br />
as we know it today.<br />
Enjoy exploring the town with its many attractions and learn more about its<br />
history. Illustrated copies of ‘A Stroll Through Georgian <strong>Holt</strong>’, published by<br />
The <strong>Holt</strong> Society, are available from bookshops.<br />

A little bit of <strong>Holt</strong> history...<br />
<strong>Holt</strong>. The heart of the town was rebuilt<br />
after the Great Fire of 1708, away from<br />
the church and closer to the market place.<br />
This accounts for the predomination of 18th<br />
century buildings and the designation of <strong>Holt</strong><br />
as ‘a fine Georgian Town’.<br />
For centuries, the common land known as<br />
Spouts Hills has provided grazing and water.<br />
From Victorian times a pumping station<br />
supplied water to a tower on Shirehall Plain<br />
from where it was distributed for the townsfolk<br />
of <strong>Holt</strong>. The springs would not only have<br />
provided pure water for public use but will<br />
have filled early horse-drawn fire engines too.<br />

HOLT OPEN SPACES<br />
Little Hills: An area of three acres of mixed<br />
woodland to the north of the A148. The<br />
centre of Little Hills or Horn Pits as it is also<br />
known, is a grassy hollow, probably created by<br />
local quarrying. Footpaths cross the site from<br />
Letheringsett Hill and the path running north-east<br />
links to New Street.<br />
Spout Hills: Walk just 150 yards from the<br />
pineapple-topped obelisk at the west end of <strong>Holt</strong><br />
High Street and you reach Spout Hills, a 14 acre<br />
green space, rich in wildlife and with a fascinating<br />
local history. Spout Hills is an attractive place to<br />
go for a quiet walk, for young and old to enjoy<br />
and in the summer, for its colourful wild flowers.<br />
Access to the Hills can also be gained from the<br />
Letheringsett Road, near the Old Rectory, or from<br />
the disused railway line.<br />
Methodist Memorial Garden: This little haven<br />
in the centre of <strong>Holt</strong> is enjoyed by visitors (as it is<br />
near the Main Albert Street car park), people who<br />
work in the town and residents who live in the<br />
town centre. Managed and maintained by <strong>Holt</strong><br />
Town Council the garden is open during the day<br />
time from April until October.<br />
<strong>Holt</strong> Country Park: Only a short walk from the<br />
centre of <strong>Holt</strong>. Just follow the brown signs from<br />
the church end of the market place. Alternatively<br />
there is a car park on the Norwich Road. There<br />
is a Visitor Centre, toilets and waymarked walks<br />
including an Easy Access Trail. Keep an eye out<br />
for a viewing tower, pond, sculptures, totem pole<br />
and adventure play area. The park is open all year<br />
round and always has something going on.<br />

<strong>Sheringham</strong><br />

warm and friendly manner. Geographically, <strong>Sheringham</strong> sits in a truly unique<br />
location ‘twixt sea and pine’ and benefits from the very best that nature<br />
can offer. Sandy beaches, rock pools, waves, the vibrancy of spring, hot<br />

heaths and so much more.<br />
Freshly caught shellfish, locally baked bread, excellent food shops, fine wine<br />
and ale, European, Indian, Chinese and Thai cuisine, putting greens, the<br />
theatre and live music.<br />
<strong>Sheringham</strong>’s architecture and history have played host to visitors from<br />
the world over from the arrival of the first steam train encouraging them<br />
to relax and unwind in its unhurried and natural surroundings. A town of<br />
fine local businesses, <strong>Sheringham</strong>’s heritage calls proudly and its sons are<br />
fondly and sympathetically remembered from elephants to mammoths,<br />
lifeboatmen to shantymen.<br />
We hope you enjoy your visit to <strong>Sheringham</strong>.<br />

SHERINGHAM TOWN CLOCK<br />
The clock tower, or Town Clock as it is generally referred to is a<br />
focal point of the town of <strong>Sheringham</strong> in <strong>Norfolk</strong>, UK.<br />
It was originally built as a reservoir and was erected in what was<br />
then known as Lower <strong>Sheringham</strong> in 1862 at a cost of £220 and<br />
water was piped from a spring.<br />
<strong>Sheringham</strong> Town ClockThere were troughs at the reservoir for<br />
animals to drink from.<br />
Women would go to the reservoir with buckets to collect water for domestic use, sometimes<br />
they would carry the buckets on their shoulders similar to the way milk maids carried their<br />
milk.<br />
It was fitted with a clock given by Miss Mary Pym in 1903 and adapted for use as a pleasant<br />
shelter for the weary shopper.<br />
The reservoir is not now in use as a water source and has not been for some years.<br />

THE LOBSTER POTTIES<br />
The Lobster Potties came into being as an entry for the <strong>Sheringham</strong> Carnival with the aim<br />
of fund raising for the <strong>Sheringham</strong> Health Centre. Since they did not know anything about<br />
Morris Dancing, nor did they know who to ask for advice, they invented the whole thing!<br />
Between they made up two or three dances to some taped music, made cross bands (which<br />
are called baldricks) and bell pads and set about practicing. Several weeks later they were not<br />
much better than when they’d started, but regardless they joined the procession and danced<br />
their way round town. The rest, as they say, is history.<br />
The Potties are a mixed side, they dance their own style of Morris dancing based on North<br />
West Clog and Garland, which some people call the North <strong>Norfolk</strong> Tradition. Each year,<br />
on the first Saturday in July, they host the <strong>Sheringham</strong> Lobster Potty Morris Dance Festival,<br />
which sees the coming together of over 20 Morris sides from all over the country and<br />
sometimes even further afield. They practice most Wednesdays during the winter months.<br />
They’re always looking for more people to join them so if you fancy getting involved you<br />
can call 01263 821514 or email t.chadwick@btinternet.com<br />

Upcher family of <strong>Sheringham</strong> Hall for the use of the fishermen of what was then Lower<br />
<strong>Sheringham</strong>, a small fishing hamlet. These lifeboats are usually referred to as the private,<br />
Upcher or fishermen’s lifeboats. The first of these, called the Upcher, was a fishing boat<br />
also used as a rescue boat. The second, the Augusta, was the first purpose-built lifeboat in<br />
<strong>Sheringham</strong>. It no longer exists, but its story is a fascinating one. The last of the three, the<br />
Henry Ramey Upcher (HRU), replaced the Augusta. It was in use until 1935 and can still be<br />
seen in its original shed, which forms part of the Centre.<br />
There is also information about, and a photographic record of, some of the fishermen who<br />
crewed the private lifeboats, many of whom worked in and around the Fishing Sheds, with<br />
displays about how they won their livings from the dangerous waters of the North Sea and<br />
other aspects of their lives.<br />
<strong>2010</strong> opening times will be Wednesday to Friday – 12 noon to 4 pm from 1st April to the end<br />
of September. During the peak holiday season and especially during the school holidays the<br />
Centre will also be open on Tuesdays and Saturdays – 12 noon to 4 pm. Admission is free,<br />
but voluntary contributions are requested.<br />
For further information or to arrange a tour, please contact Reg Grimes on 01263 824343.<br />

EXPERIENCE SHERINGHAM ‘Much more than a day at the Seaside’<br />
Experience <strong>Sheringham</strong> is a brand for <strong>Sheringham</strong>, developed<br />
as a result of work during the re-generation programme of<br />
<strong>Sheringham</strong>Plus. In addition to establishing a brand, a web<br />
site, www.experiencesheringham.com, was set up and information<br />
leaflets and posters prepared and distributed. In 2009<br />
Experience <strong>Sheringham</strong> was taken over by Upcher Community<br />
Partnership, the Local Area Partnership for <strong>Sheringham</strong> and<br />
surrounding area.<br />
The web site has proved extremely successful since being set up<br />
in 2007 and gives visitors a wide range of information concerning<br />
attractions, places to stay and places to eat plus general information about the area, and<br />
is well worthy a visit, even by locals. Indeed visitors to the site in 2009 numbered 79318<br />
an average of 217 a day. Two leaflets were produced, ‘What’s on Around <strong>Sheringham</strong>’ and<br />
‘Where to Shop, Stay, Eat and Go’ plus monthly posters displaying information of events<br />
happening in the town and area.<br />
Having taken over Experience <strong>Sheringham</strong> Upcher Partnership will be continuing the web<br />
site, leaflets and posters for the foreseeable future, although, as with most things today, this<br />
does depend on funding being available from advertising or additional sources.<br />

NEW HERITAGE TRAIL FOR SHERINGHAM<br />
The Trails group of <strong>Sheringham</strong>Plus has now produced a booklet which enables residents and<br />
visitors to explore the history of the town on foot. This is a revised and updated version of<br />
the Heritage Walk booklet written mainly by Peter Brooks in 1991, with illustrations by Mick<br />
Bensley. <strong>Sheringham</strong> Preservation Society is responsible for placing the blue plaques on the most<br />
important locations in the town. <strong>Sheringham</strong> as a town, did not come into being until the end of<br />
the 19th century, greatly helped by the arrival of the railway in 1887. Despite this relatively short<br />
history, compared to older market towns, there has been a huge amount of change over the last<br />
hundred years, and this can be discovered by taking this walk round the town. The trail takes you<br />
on a 1.5 or 2 mile walk through he older parts of the town where you will discover the colourful<br />
history of the buildings you pass, from the site of a ruined chapel, an open air entertainment<br />
venue and, obviously, a fishing boat boat-shed. For instance, standing in Wyndham Street today,<br />
in a heavily built-up area, it is difficult to imagine that 200 years ago there stood the ruins of a<br />
medieval chapel, surrounded by grazing. The image at the top of the page shows the ruins of St<br />
Nicholas chapel. Threads running through the trail illustrate the former dominance of the fishing<br />
industry, the impact of tourism, the distinguished visitors to the town, the heroism of the lifeboat<br />
crews and the importance of the railway. The Heritage Trail booklet is available from local outlets<br />
at £1, alongside the <strong>Sheringham</strong> Trails Booklet also at £1. As a special offer, buy either booklet<br />
and get the other absolutely free!<br />
HOLT MUSEUM TRUST (Registered Charity Number 1104185)<br />
The <strong>Holt</strong> Museum Trust is a registered charity which has been set<br />
up to create a museum for <strong>Holt</strong> and the surrounding area.<br />
Our historical market town in North <strong>Norfolk</strong> with Roman<br />
and Saxon History, listed in the Domesday Book, home of<br />
Gresham’s School, destroyed in the fire of 1708 and rebuilt into<br />
the Georgian Town you see today has no museum to record this<br />
rich and varied history. But <strong>Holt</strong> Museum, which holds valuable<br />
archive/collections, welcomes visitors to their Web Site.<br />
Our campaign is to raise funds to purchase a suitable building to record all this history for<br />
future generations. Our Campaign started in August 2003 and raised £15,407.00 in its first<br />
year entirely from supporters. The Support Continues Our funds now exceed £25,354.<br />
To help raise money we have various publications available online from £9.95.<br />

A MAGNIFICENT PART OF OUR COASTAL HERITAGE<br />
Nearly 130 years ago, a theatre critic named<br />
Clement Scott wrote a series of travel articles<br />
about the North <strong>Norfolk</strong> coast for the Daily<br />
Telegraph. Inspired by the scarlet poppies<br />
growing along the cliffs and in the fields,<br />
Scott coined the name Poppyland – and the<br />
name has endured to this day.<br />
The heritage Poppy Line steam railway from<br />
<strong>Sheringham</strong> along the coast to Weybourne<br />
and up through the heathlands to <strong>Holt</strong><br />
preserves part of the 1887 railway that<br />
opened up the area to holidaymakers.<br />
Named as Britain’s best full-size heritage<br />
railway trip by The Sunday Times, the views<br />
of coast and country from the train are little<br />
short of breathtaking; and the three Victorian<br />
stations effortlessly evoke the atmosphere of<br />
a bygone age.<br />
Steam trains run daily from 1st April to 31st<br />
October, and there are lunch, evening dining<br />
and Murder <strong>My</strong>stery trains. For details, pick<br />
up a leaflet from the Leisure Target racks,<br />
visit www.nnrailway.co.uk or call 01263 820<br />
800 (10am to 4pm).<br />
There’s also a full programme of special<br />
events, including the 9th annual Beer Festival<br />
at <strong>Sheringham</strong> Station (16th-18th July) and<br />
the famous ‘40s Weekend (18th/19th Sept).<br />
In March <strong>2010</strong> the Poppy Line was<br />
reconnected to the national rail network, when<br />
the reinstated level crossing at <strong>Sheringham</strong><br />
saw the first passenger train over the road for<br />
46 years. The occasional-use crossing will<br />
create extra business for the town outside<br />
the main holiday season, with special steam<br />
trains bringing enthusiasts from all over the<br />
country.<br />
The Poppy Line was runner up for Best<br />
<strong>Norfolk</strong> Attraction in the EDP Tourism<br />
Awards 2009.<br />

independent shops offering everything you desire and more.<br />
Two small towns, full of character and steeped in history, you won’t be<br />
dissapponited when you stop by to explore them.<br />
