More about this scene

Ludham sits on 'high' ground, which in Broadland can be just a few feet above sea level. Opposite Ludham Church an interesting row of thatched cottages adjoins two small Georgian houses, one with a slate roof and one with Norfolk tiles. The thatched dormer window has now been altered to match the other four, and the Alfresco Tearooms have replaced the shop with its fascinating display of old implements.

I can recall it being rather overgrown ...see more
