Memories of Holkham and the Victoria Hotel
Whilst I lived at Mattishall near Dereham in the early 1960's I became a regular visitor to the area in Summer and Winter, having use of a small boat at Burnham Overy Staithe.

The entrance hall is well remembered with a large minstrels' gallery at the east end. The most exciting room was, probably still is, the most western first floor... [more]

The river Burn runs through the villages of South and North Creake too. The road at the centre of the picture leads to the ruins of Creake Abbey, which lies in a beautiful setting beside the stream. The abbey came to a sudden end in 1506 when all its occupants died of plague within a week.
