National Trust Plans for North Norfolk’s Morston Quay Opposed

Flood tide at Morston Quay North Norfolk I visited North Norfolk’s Morston Quay recently and found that the National Trust (NT) had affixed an explanatory display board to the side of the lookout building detailing the Trust’s controversial plan to build a new visitor centre on the eastern edge of what is now the car parking area.

Stiffkey – notable for cockles and a former village rector

01/01/2014 David Hobart Comments 7 Comments

Stiffkey in North Norfolk is a pretty village with houses lining each side of the main coast road, the A149. Unremarkable now, the village was nationally in the public eye in 1932 when the rector of the parish, Harold Davidson, was accused of immorality by a Consistory Court convened in Norwich. The charge related to Davidson’s work as a counsellor and carer for London’s prostitutes. This caused a great scandal and the court’s decision was that Davidson should be defrocked. Many thought the decision wrong and his friends and followers supported him to the end of his life. He is buried in Stiffkey churchyard. Approximately 3000 people attended the funeral.
