In Search of Secret Norfolk

Overview

A lavishly illustrated companion to the heritage and beauty of Norfolk, one of England’s most visited counties

Norfolk is one of the few remaining counties where time, if it hasn’t stayed still, has marched at a slower pace than elsewhere. Strikingly beautiful, it is also one of the most popular counties for tourists from overseas and from all over the UK.

With the help of his own stunning photographs, Robert Leader charts the heritage and history of Norfolk through its great Norman castles and abbeys, its guildhalls and medieval wool churches and the stately homes of the great land-owning families who helped to shape it all.

He follows the course of Norfolk’s rivers, and captures the charm of its fishing villages and genteel Edwardian towns as well as the drama of its wide-sky lonely beaches and fenlands.

Suffolk and Norfolk Life

‘It’s a book which should find favour with incomers and locals alike. The latter could well discover aspects of their county of which they had been hitherto unaware.’
