Runton, Norfolk, England
Runton parish lies on the North Norfolk coast between Sheringham and Cromer. Now split as East and West Runton this area was previously a single parish. The parish now relies for its income to a large extent upon the holiday trade with numerous caravan and camp sites along the cliff-top. In the past this was a quiet fishing village with boats pulled up along the beach. Holy Trinity church lies in the village of West Runton alongside the busy main coast road and around 3/4 of a mile from the ever retreating cliff line. Mostly early 14th century with a few parts indicating an earlier origin it is a typical Norfolk flint-knapped church.
