Detail of stained glass window
Cromer is a small costal town and civil parish on the north Norfolk coast approximately 23 miles north of the county town of Norwich.
Cromer became a resort in the early 19th century, with some of the rich Norwich banking families making it their summer home. Visitors included the future King Edward VII, who played golf here. The resort's facilities included the late-Victorian Cromer Pier, which is home to the Pavilion Theatre.
The parish church of St Peter and St Paul sits proudly in the centre of the old town. the medieval west tower is 160ft tall and the tallest church tower in the county of Norfolk. The church fell into a virtually ruinous state in the beginning of the 18th century and it was almost completely demolished in 1757. as Cromer became a popular seaside resort attitudes towards the church changed and in 1862 Arthur Bloomfield began a restoration project which included a new nave roof and a new chancel.
