Drayton (Norfolk): near site of station, 1993. View westward on Costessey Road by Station Road: the station had been up to the right and here the ex-Midland & Great Northern branch Melton Constable (left) - Norwich City (right) had crossed here - until 2/3/59 when almost all the M&GN system was closed wholesale.

Staff very polite and helpful. Accommodation was lovely, just right for 2 adults. However, I’m glad we visited in February as the front door/terrace where there are chairs and table for outdoor use, literally faced a 6ft wall, so definitely no sun even in summer months.

Norwich

Hellesdon Parish Hall. Beside Low Road, adjoining St Mary's church; the village sign > 850755 - 850757 is located here. Hellesdon is a large suburb of Norwich. Signs of very early settlement, such as a variety of flint tools (believed to be at least 4,000 years old) have been unearthed in the area. Bronze axe heads were found near Hellesdon Hall and a skeleton dating from around 600 CE was discovered in Low Road. It is not clear where the old name for Hellesdon - Hailesduna - originates from. It is believed that Edmund, the King of the East Angles, may have been martyred here. In 985, Abbo of Fleury, who at Ramsey Abbey (Cambridgeshire) compiled the 'Life of St Edmund', writes that he heard the Archbishop relate a story that came from a young man who had heard it from a very old man who claimed to have been King Edmund's armour bearer at the time of his death. On his capture, Edmund was whipped and tied to a tree, and shot with arrows. He was then beheaded and his head thrown into a bramble thicket in Hegelisdun Wood - hence the association with Hailesduna, present-day Hellesdon. The King's head was later found, guarded by a wolf, and according to the story the body was buried in a small chapel built nearby for the purpose. The site of the chapel is believed to be the site where St Mary's church stands > 850769. The church and the dead body of King Edmund, guarded by a wolf, are depicted on the village sign > 850757.
