Cromer (/ˈkroʊmər/ KROH-mər) is a coastal town and civil parish on the north coast of the English county of Norfolk.^[1]It is approximately 23 miles (37 km) north of the county city of Norwich, 116 miles (187 km) north-northeast of Londonand 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Sheringham on the North Sea coastline. The local government authority is North Norfolk District Council, whose headquarters is in Holt Road in the town. The civil parish has an area of 4.66 km² (1.80 sq mi) and at the 2011 census had a population of 7,683.^[2]

The town is notable as a traditional tourist resort and for the Cromer crab,^[3][4] which forms the major source of income for local fishermen. The motto Gem of the Norfolk Coast is highlighted on the town's road signs.^[5]

Alfred Robert Quinton (1853–1934)^[1] was an English watercolour artist, known for his paintings of British villages and landscapes, many of which were published as postcards, which are popular with today's collectors. His paintings have also been published in many calendars. Well over 2,000 of his paintings were published between 1904 and the time of his death. He also illustrated a number of books including "The Historic Thames" by Hilaire Belloc.

He lived in Fortis Green, north London.
