We had a wonderful english teacher, Mr Troman, who installed in me a great love of the language and its literature. We nicknamed him HUDDY Because of his teaching. Forty years later I was inspired to write, and have printed a history of our family during the depression years.

As a choir boy I had many an annual treat at Great Yarmouth for the day. Had a wonderful vicar, Rev Cooling, commonly referred to as POP. He was a model train advocate and had a big lame Red Setter who bowled me over every time I went to the vicarage. Stump Hayward.

Shops and private houses of all dates surround the large Market Square. In the 19th century, locally-made wool and hemp products were being sold here, and dairy products were sold on the appropriately-named Cheese Hill. East Harling church contains some very fine monuments to local families and the best medieval glass in Norfolk.
