Although there has been a settlement at Cromer for the best part of a thousand years, it only became a resort in Victorian times with the arrival of the railways. The town is centred around the 14th century church of SS Peter and Paul. This was substantially rebuilt in the 19th century after it fell into disrepair. The church tower, at just over 160 feet, is the highest in Norfolk, and serves as a landmark for shipping. The red brick building on the right of the picture was originally built in 1820 as a residence for Lord Suffield. It was converted into a hotel in 1830 and substantially remodelled in the 1890s. It is still a hotel.
