- Happisburgh Manor
Out and About at Happisburgh Manor
Pronounced ‘haze-bruh’ and spelt 'Hapesburg' in the Domesday Book, the name Happisburgh means 'Haep's Town'. It’s a captivating traditional village of flint and thatch with a charming main street dotted with quaint thatched cottages. As in the days of old, the village is dominated by two landmarks: its red and white striped lighthouse and the commanding tower of its church.
The lighthouse is situated on a small hill on the outskirts of the village and dates back to 1791. Climb it and on a clear day, you can see the cathedral spire of Norwich along with a number of other church towers. At the other end of the village is St. Marys, a flint and stone church with a commanding 112 feet high tower.
This pretty little village is haunted by heroes and legends. It’s said that while sitting in the upstairs bedroom window of the then Hill House Hotel in Happisburgh, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle dreamt up the plot for his Sherlock Holmes story, ‘The Dancing Men’ published in 1903. In one of P.D. James’s Adam Dalgleish stories, the eponymous detective has a two-week break in a Norfolk mill, which is obviously in Happisburgh.
More recently in 2010, archaeologists from University College London discovered flint tools near and these have been dated as being around 100,000 years older than any other previous find.
If you would prefer something more up to date, then nearby Norwich has a great deal to offer. Our Amazing Hosts can recommend things to see and do as well as places to eat and drink.
