Norfolk has many places of interest connected with its diverse and
sometimes bloody past. This book explores locations around the
county linked with historical figures and major events. Houses,
monuments and statues are associated with the likes of Lord Nelson,
Nurse Edith Cavell, Anna Sewell, Howard Carter, Pocahontas, Julian
of Norwich and many others. And there are many places connected
with major historical incidents such as the Norfolk Rising, the
Peasants' Revolt and Boudicca's stand against the Romans. Norfolk
locations used in films and television programmes are also
included, not least The Go Between and Dad's Army. Royalty has long
been associated with Norfolk, including Anne Boleyn and Lady Diana
as well as the royal residence at Sandringham. Norfolk has also
inspired famous works of literature including The Hound of the
Baskervilles, Black Beauty and the Swallows and Amazons series, and
many major rock acts played in small venues around the county
before becoming famous. Norfolk Places Behind the Faces is an
entertaining survey of places of interest associated with Norfolk
historical characters, events, and film and television locations.
It will appeal to all those who live in Norfolk or know it well.
