*************

Cromer is a coastal town and civil parish in north Norfolk, England.^[1] The local government authority is North Norfolk District Council, whose headquarters is in Holt Road in the town. The town is situated 23 miles (37 km) north of the county town, Norwich, and is 4 miles (6.5 km) east of Sheringham. The civil parish has an area of 4.66 km² and in the 2001 census had a population of 7,749 people in 3,671 households.^[2] The motto Gem of the Norfolk Coast is highlighted on the town's roadsigns.^[3]

Cromer is not mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. The place-name 'Cromer' is first attested in a will of 1262 and could mean 'Crows' mere or lake'.^[4] There are other contenders for the derivation, a north country word 'cromer' meaning 'a gap in the cliffs' or less likely a direct tranfer from a Danish placename.

It is reasonable to assume that the present site of Cromer, around the parish church of Saints Peter and Paul, is what was then^[when?] Shipden-juxta-Felbrigg.^[5] A reference to a place called Crowemere Shipden can be seen in a legal record, dated 1422, (1 Henry VI), the home of John Gees. ^[6] The other Shipden is now about a quarter of a mile to the north east of the end of Cromer Pier, under the sea. Its site is marked by Church Rock, now no longer visible, even at a low spring tide. In 1888 a vessel struck the rock, and the rock was subsequently blown up for safety.

Cromer became a resort in the early 19th century, with some of the rich Norwich banking families making it their summer home. Visitors included the future King Edward VII, who played golf here. The resort's facilities included the late-Victorian Cromer Pier, which is home to the Pavilion Theatre. In 1883 the London journalist Clement Scott went to Cromer and began to write about the area. He named the stretch of coastline, particularly the Overstrand and Sidestrand area, ""Poppyland"",^[7] and the combination of the railway and his writing in the national press brought many visitors. The name ""Poppyland"" referred to the numerous poppies which grew (and still grow) at the roadside and in meadows.
