Review by David Brown

As an introduction to the area, it works well and visitors wishing to know more about, for example, Walsingham's Abbey and Priory, can find more about it after visiting the site and appreciating the character of that small corner of the county.

I found this to be a very useful book, as I have been visiting Norfolk to do family history research. Informative and interesting.

What I liked most about the book was discovering things I didn’t know about some of the towns and villages I'm most familiar worth.

This is a lovely book with very interesting anecdotes and facts about different places around Norfolk. I myself used to live in Downham Market and loved learning about the area. Very well done.

Stephen Browning and Daniel Tink take us on a magical journey through the streets of Norwich and around the countryside and coastline of Norfolk. There's even a tale about a ghost in the ruined priory which is less than a half mile from where we live! Superb stories, superb advert for the city and the county, full of information and very readable indeed. Magic!

I have lived in Norwich for the last 5 years and really appreciated the insight into the little known anecdotes from the county's history. Even some of our local tour guides are unaware of some of the fascinating facts described in the book. The authors have thoughtfully used many fascinating illustrations to further depict places and events... The stories have inspired me to visit Norfolk places that I was previously unaware of.
Congratulations to the authors on the absorbing detailed research.

It was an interesting and informative read. I never visited Norfolk and this book helped me to understand what to see and learn about their story.
An excellent and useful read, highly recommended.

I really enjoyed this book and found that even though I have visited the county many times there was still plenty that I found to be new to me and I have a lot on my list now of places to visit in the area – it is a really handy guide.

I did like that the authors have added images that they have taken too so this gives it a more personal feel than having stock images.

I enjoyed the way that the book was set out and the facts and detail added. The authors have added in details of the sites (where possible) and the addresses/contact numbers so you can make your own arrangements.
