Dist:0.1km<br/>This station was on the Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway line from Cromer to North Walsham via Mundesley on Sea. It was owned and run by the Great Eastern Railway company (GER) and the Midland and Great Northern Railway company (M&GN).
Both were rivals but on this line and the Lowestoft to Great Yarmouth line they worked together. The station and line closed in 1953 after flood damage.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This school was founded in 1830 by Miss Anna Gurney and Miss Sarah Buxton and originally met in the belfry of the church, so the date '1830' in the gable might not be the year in which the old part of the school was built. It was evidently much enlarged in the late 19C, and is still in use as a primary school, supplemented by various temporary buildings.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Not many villages have a chapel designed by Lutyens, if fact this is probably the only one. The arched doorway is impressive, and the clerestory must light the interior well, but the exposed beams that support it are not very beautiful.
