Historical Context of Norfolk

The county of Norfolk is the fourth largest county in England and has a long coastline that protrudes into the North Sea, it is somewhat isolated from the rest of the country. This was especially true in the past when the fens to the west were flooded, which are what helped form a natural barrier and the Norfolk people, therefore at that time acquired a sense of independence. In the medieval times Norfolk was the most populated of the region and at this time achieved great property, which leads to the building of some of England's best churches. Since these times the population of Norfolk has steadily declined with over 100 villages having been lost. Norfolk was also a great seafaring county and it developed strong links with Northern Europe, which also strongly influenced the architectural design. Fishing in the region declined over the years, but the crabs from Cromer are today world-famous.
