Norfolk
By Tom Pocock
Tom Pocock’s Norfolk is a place painted in shades of green and brown – reflecting the richness of the land. It is also a place of wonderful seascapes, such as those Nelson saw as a boy near his father’s parsonage.
Perhaps because it is not on the way to anywhere, a sense of isolation has produced in the county a sturdy tradition of political and religious dissent – epitomised in the career of Thomas Paine, author of The Rights of Man. Rich, too, in magnificent churches and country houses, Norfolk, says the author, is beautiful ‘at every season of the year, at every hour of the day’.
