There are also two areas which have been removed from the Conservation Area comprising the rear gardens of no’s 6 to 18 Smuggler’s Lane and most of the Ollands Road Estate which was constructed the early 1970’s The report also makes recommendations for the enhancement of the area. A Conservation Area is defined as “an area of special architectural or historic interest, the character of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance”. The conservation of the historic environment can enhance the quality of life of those who live or work in the area and, by attracting visitors, can benefit the local economy. Under the 1990 Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act, Local Authorities are required to review existing Conservation Areas and, where appropriate, consider the designation of new ones. The Conservation Area includes a number of distinct parts, each with its own character: Factors which contribute to the special quality of a Conservation Area may include: • the historic town centre comprising the linked but contrasting spaces of the Market Place, enclosed by Georgian buildings, and Church Hill, dominated by the two Medieval churches and their raised yards, together with Back Street, Church Street and part of Norwich Road • the architectural quality of the buildings themselves • the areas immediately to the north, west and south of the town centre • the materials of which they are made • Moor House and its extensive landscaped grounds • their relationship with one another and their setting in the landscape • the loosely strung-out rural development along Reepham Moor • the character of the spaces between buildings, including walls, hedges, trees and ground surface materials The Conservation Area Statement of 1972 grouped The Ollands and Moor House together as the “landscaped . . . grounds of two large houses”, but noted that the area was shown on the Village Plan as “future residential development”. It went on to note that development had already begun at The Ollands, while in the case of Moor House a landscape survey would be made to form the brief for any future development. The statement recognised that residential development in Reepham was in accordance with the Local Plan, which had identified it as a ‘local centre’ for the surrounding rural area, where some expansion of population would be appropriate. • views both within the area and from outside The District Council is committed to the protection and enhancement of the historic environment of Broadland. The Reepham Conservation Area was designated in 1972 and amended in 1978. An illustrated report accompanied designation. This statement identifies and reaffirms the special architectural and historic character of the area. It includes two extensions to the 1978 boundary, to the south and north of The Moor, and between School Road and Bar Lane extending then east of Bar Lane to the south of Back Street. These areas have been added to safeguard the setting of parts of the existing It is in no small part due to the pursuit of conservation policies following Conservation Area designation that the historic centre, Moor 2 �HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT House and The Moor remain largely unchanged. By contrast, the open landscaped park of The Ollands has been altered beyond recognition by its development as a residential area and therefore most of this area has now been removed from the Conservation Area. The development has had an adverse impact on the setting of the historic centre by blurring the edge between the built-up area and the open country. However, the grounds of Moor House have not been developed and the house has been Listed, so it is appropriate that they remain in the Conservation Area, both on their own merit and because they link the town centre with Reepham Moor. HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT The name Reepham is thought to mean a manor held or run by a reeve (from Old English refa + ham) A reeve was a manorial official responsibility for the supervision of land under the feudal system. However, there is no mention of a manor of Reepham in the Domesday Book, the great survey commissioned by The Conqueror in 1087: it was considered to be part of Kerdiston manor and the monuments to the de Kerdiston family in St Mary’s church bear witness to this. The parish boundaries are confusing: the present centre of the town stands at the meeting point of Hackford, Whitwell and Reepham, and their three churches were built side by side at this point. All Saints, Hackford, was destroyed in the fire which, in 1543, laid waste to the “most part of the dwelling houses” in the town, but Whitwell and Reepham churches survive and each had its own incumbent until the1930s. In Reepham there are many buildings of interest in their own right, some Listed, some not. The report which accompanied the designation of the Conservation Area in 1972 identified a small number of Listed buildings and a large number of non-Listed buildings of interest. Many of the latter have since been Listed. These are mostly in the central core area, but, interestingly, they also include Moor House – reflecting the growing appreciation of Victorian architecture. What is clear is that the present town developed as a trading centre for the local settlements. The market charter dates from 1277, although records show a market was in existence even earlier. There is still a small weekly market on the Market Place, but the cattle market was moved to the site of the present car park, where it remained the biggest in this part of Norfolk until the Second World War. The 1972 Statement encouraged the rehabilitation of decaying cottages and the finding of new uses for redundant buildings which contributed to the village scene. These aims have very largely been realised, though inevitably there has been some loss of the “patina of age”. Until the closure of the cattle market Reepham remained an essentially agricultural centre. Farm machinery as well as livestock was sold in the market. With the building of the railway and of a station at Reepham, cattle could be easily transported to Norwich or London, though over shorter distances, to and from farms, droving “on the hoof” continued to be normal practice until well in to the twentieth century. Later in the century, economic considerations were to close both market and railway line. Some idea of the variety of trades in Reepham in the late nineteenth century can be gleaned from White’s Directory. In the 1867 edition we 3 �HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT nineteenth century led to the building of St Mary’s National School on the Norwich Road and St Michael’s National School in the churchyard (now the Town Hall). Today the town remains a centre of education, with the Primary School in School Road and the High School in Whitwell Road. find represented, in the combined four parishes of Reepham, Kerdiston, Hackford and Whitwell, no less than twenty-two different trades, many of them by more than one operator. There were fourteen “grocers or shopkeepers”, four bakers, three builders or joiners, three bricklayers, three plumbers and two ironmongers. Trades directly dependent on agriculture or the cattle market included twenty-five farmers, two butchers with slaughter houses, two saddlers, two tanneries, a fowl and skin dealer and a wheelwright. Many small trades were home based, so we find eight shoemakers, seven tailors, two watchmakers, two milliners and a straw hat-maker. There were six inns and four “beer houses”. Methodism flourished in the Norfolk countryside in the nineteenth century. In Hackford there were three separate congregations: Primitive, Wesleyan and Reformed. Today there is one large Methodist chapel in Station Road. In common with most small towns throughout the country, Reepham experienced a dramatic decline in its traditional business and industry during the twentieth century, due largely to the rapid development in road transport and new methods of communication. As a result, much of the life of the town has drained away. On the other hand it is a cleaner and less smelly place and people in general are healthier, better housed and better educated. New small industries and services have sprung up on the outskirts of the town and new houses and schools have been built for the growing population. Reepham is now a most desirable place to live in: big enough to provide for most daily needs yet small enough to retain a sense of community. While the railway, linking Reepham to Norwich and the wider world, transformed life in the town, older methods of public transport existed alongside the new: a mail cart went daily to Norwich from the Sun Inn, carriers travelled the same route three days a week and an omnibus twice a week. Brewing, begun by the Birchams in the eighteenth century, became in the following century the biggest industry in the town. Their extensive premises were situated between what is now Old Brewery Lane and Malthouse Yard. In the 1867 Directory they are described as “brewers, maltsters and spirit merchants”. The Birchams were wealthy and influential and there were members of the family living at the Ollands, at Moor House and at Booton Hall as well as in the fine Old Brewery House facing onto the Market Place. The family owned extensive property in the town, which, it has been suggested, may account for the pleasing harmony between many facades in the centre of the town. No doubt many of the bricks came from the brickworks at Kerdiston. The brewery was sold in 1878 and the land on which it had stood put to a variety of new uses. Other industries included Eglington’s agricultural engineering business which stood near Malthouse Yard. The workshop adjacent to The Old Stores in The Moor is a rare and little altered survival of its type. The development of education in the late 4 �LOCATION AND SETTING LOCATION AND SETTING time opening out or being squeezed in. There are two subsidiary spaces: the yard beside the Old Brewery House and the little green off Church Hill. Reepham is about twelve miles from Norwich and is situated on a low spur of land above, and to the west of, the Eyn Brook. The valley through which the brook flows is pastoral in character, with meadows, marshes and woodland, in sharp contrast to the arable farmland on the higher ground. There are three principal exits: at Town’s End, at the junctions of Church Hill and Norwich Road and Church Hill and Ollands Road. At Town’s End, earlier demolition on the south-east corner has weakened the sense of enclosure, but more recent re-building on the south-west and northeast corners has helped, in part, to re-establish it. At Ollands Road the enclosure is greatly weakened by the single-storey flat roofed supermarket on the corner. At Norwich Road the enclosure by buildings and high walls remains intact. The 1972 statement noted that the surrounding “landscape is generally open and undulating, affording fine views of the village from the south and east, from where it is seen as an irregular but compact group of buildings, set amongst trees and dominated by its twin churches”. There are many narrow exits to alleys or yards, which form a network of pedestrian routes. At first glance they are barely visible, but they are a vital element in the townscape. They are useful for quick access from outlying parts of the town. The most significant alleys are Chapel Walk (leading to the car park and Station Road), St John’s Alley (leading to Ollands Road) and Pudding Pie Alley (leading to Back Street). The 1972 Statement identified a “landscape zone” adjoining the south and east sides of the town. This area extends about one and a quarter miles from the centre and provides the setting for the town on this side. While it was not formally designated as part of the Conservation Area, the Statement pointed out that “any substantial intrusion or detrimental change [in it] would injure the overall visual quality of the village”. This “zone” remains open countryside, so that - from this side- the view of Reepham with its twin towers may still be enjoyed. On the other sides of the town, however, development during the last quarter of the twentieth century has “blurred” the old boundaries between town and country. In recent years a number of yards have been rehabilitated and/or rebuilt as town centre houses or flats. The strong contrast between the Market Place on the one hand and Church Hill and Church Street on the other is unique to Reepham. The open hard surfaced Market Place comprises a main square and a wedge-shaped space at each end. It is enclosed by fine Georgian buildings. In Church Hill and Church Street the buildings are more modest and wrap tightly round the two Medieval churches and their raised grassed church yards. The buildings on the south side of Church Street are separated only by their back yards and gardens from the open country beyond. FORM AND CHARACTER THE TOWN CENTRE The Market Place, Church Hill and Church Street This is the heart of Reepham. It has all the ingredients of the best traditional townscape. First and foremost it is an enclosed space, with solidly built up sides and with the exits not fully visible from within the space. The sides of the space are all totally irregular: there are no right angles or parallel lines, so the space is all the The ground contours add a further dimension to the space, which slopes eastwards past the two churches and southwards across the churchyards and down Pudding Pie Alley. Nearly all the buildings in the Market Place, Church Hill and Church Street are Listed and 5 �FORM AND CHARACTER the rest (apart from the supermarket, the Town Hall and the building adjoining it) are all of townscape importance. Important walls to both churchyards and to the Old Rectory in Church Street are also Listed. There is a remarkable number of surviving traditional shop fronts. The cart shed (Listed) beside Rookery Farm house has been converted to residential use, albeit with some inevitable change of character. Back Street As its name implies, this street lies just behind the Market Place to the south. It joins Church Street with Town’s End. It has a gentle curve which then bends sharply to meet Church Street. Because of the steep slope, the backs of some of the buildings in the Market Place are three or four storeys high. There is an attractive garden behind a wall east of Pudding Pie Alley. Adjoining the Greyhound Inn an archway leads to Bar Lane. This narrow pedestrian path between high walls leads, within the space of a few yards, from the tightly built-up centre of the village to open country. But this contrast has been somewhat weakened by the new residential development west of the lane. Particular buildings to note are • the two churches which, uniquely, are linked together end to end. They are dedicated respectively to the Nativity of St Mary (the parish church of Reepham) and St Michael and All Angels (the parish church of Hackford with Whitwell). St Mary’s is of fourteenth and fifteenth century date, St Michael’s mainly of the fourteenth century with major alterations and “restoration” in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Most of the buildings in Back Street are Listed. An exception is the building at the west end on the corner of Station Road: a former maltings recently converted sensitively to residential use. Of particular note is • The Old Brewery House in the Market Place, which, though containing a seventeenth century core, has a fine early eighteenth century front with a delicate baroque porch of wood. • The Cardinal’s Hat, which includes a sixteenth century jettied timber framed section. • Nelson House: early eighteenth century, with moulded brick course at first floor level. • The Thatched Cottage in Church Hill, dating from the seventeenth century. • Several good Georgian and Victorian fronts, some concealing earlier fabric behind. • The many fine Georgian frontages, some concealing older fabric behind. Norwich Road (from Church Hill to Bircham Road) (for the rest of Norwich Road, see below under Moor House) The first part of Norwich Road is continuously built-up on the south side, providing an attractive “introduction” to the town centre. Only Beaver House is Listed, but all are of townscape value, including one with mock timber framing, hanging tiles and terra cotta work. There are several good shopfronts. The carefully refurbished cottages in Birchams Yard, complete with the old yard pump, are part of this group. The north side of Norwich Road is mostly modern. A terrace of houses commendably continues the built-up frontage from the corner with Church Hill, though the staggered plan 6 �FORM AND CHARACTER long gardens. Further east is Swiss Cottage, with attractive Victorian half timbering to the front but said to be a lot older inside. form makes for a restless skyline. The footpath to Malthouse Yard is bounded by an attractive Victorian “villa”. A converted two storey workshop building “holds” the street frontage together, but it is then “broken” by a new house set back abutting the Ollands estate. On the west side of Ollands Road , older industrial buildings east of Granary Lane are currently being converted to houses: a potentially attractive development. A high wall on the corner of Ollands Road has townscape value. North of the entrance to Old Brewery Lane a small planted open space is poorly maintained. Further north four pairs of small mid-nineteenth century semi-detached house with large gardens have been spoilt by some unsympathetic window replacements. Old Brewery Lane This through way has been formed since 1972, following the demise of the Cattle Yard. It is open to vehicles at either end, but limited to a footpath in the middle, so sensibly precluding its use as a short cut from Ollands Road to Station Road. It is characterised by detached houses, which, though not identical, are designed to harmonise with each other. They are linked attractively by high curving walls of the same dark brick as the houses. AREAS NORTH, WEST AND SOUTH OF THE TOWN CENTRE North of the town centre Ollands Road and Malthouse Yard On the east side, at the junction with Church Hill, the flat roofed, single storey supermarket in Ollands Road badly damages the townscape. Next to it a modern terrace of houses forms one side of a modern residential development built round a courtyard. The other sides of the development face Malthouse Yard and Norwich Road (the “staggered” terrace already referred to), while the fourth side of the court is made up of the backs of older properties in Church Hill. A real attempt at recreating “urban space” has been made , including the provision of an arched entrance from Malthouse Yard to the car park behind. The surface of the car park and the use of woven fencing to the back gardens are of poorer quality. Behind the Old Brewery House Hotel, original brewery buildings have now been replaced by a sports hall and an indoor swimming pool, both potentially an asset to the town but currently disused. An earlier barn or maltings survives embedded in the new building. The remainder of the yard is used as a car park. Chapel Walk This footpath formerly led past the cattle sale yard, which has been converted to a car park, conveniently sited close to the town centre. At the south end, on one side are modernised cottages hard up against the path: on the other, a new development, Fisher’s Alley, whose layout and high garden walls relate well to this tightly-knit location. Further north the Walk is enclosed by hedges, which screen, on one side, the car park and, on the other, modern houses in Chimes Walk. A short modern terrace of houses marks the north corner of Malthouse Yard. Here, by retaining the bottom half of an old flint wall and setting the footpath behind it, an attempt has been made to preserve the traditional building line while allowing for modern sight lines. Station Road Nos. 1,3 and 5 (all Listed) form an attractive and firm corner at Town’s End, and compliment the On the north side of Malthouse Yard there is a good group of older houses, set back behind 7 �FORM AND CHARACTER buildings at the west end of the Market Place. Opposite, Merchants Yard is an excellent example of a small residential development of refurbished buildings supplemented by new infill where required. It received a Reepham Society Award in 1985. conversion to another use. There is a good view looking east into the Market Place with the church towers beyond, but the open service court of Town’s End Court (see below) detracts from it. The rest of Station Road is more “suburban” in character. On the east side, a short terrace of cottages, bearing the date 1867, is raised well above the road and faces south. Joined to it but facing east, Companion Cottages present their back gardens to the road. Beyond lies the expanse of the public car park stretching to Old Brewery Lane. The west side is characterised by large Victorian or Edwardian houses and gardens behind high hedges and trees. But at the south end this frontage is broken by a private car park and a modern bungalow and, at the north end, the high hedges come to an end to reveal another terrace of old cottages with large gardens. At the junction with Kerdiston Road, the Methodist Chapel closes the vista as Station Road bears right. Built of red and “white” brick, it has a powerful pedimented main front and an attractive arched iron gateway. Town’s End Court, a recent re-development at the corner of Town’s End, forms a firm street frontage to this important junction and to School Road, but its service court presents a weak frontage to Dereham Road. The building itself is partly in a pastiche “Georgian” style and its component parts appear somewhat unresolved. Modern terraced houses to the south, outside the Conservation Area, are undistinguished. School Road On the east side, Old Maltings is a new residential development which successfully combines conversion with new- build. By planning the flats “back to front” alterations to the old façade and disturbance from traffic are both kept to a minimum. The white rendered new work, rather than imitating the old brickwork, compliments it. The forecourt is open to the street, its south side completed by a new building in a similar style to the rest. Next door a haulage depot (formerly a public hall) is followed by a modern terrace of houses. An arched entrance to a garage court behind allows a continuous urban frontage to be maintained, but the design of the terrace is itself undistinguished. Past the terrace, a private track leads to an attractive orchard and a successfully converted barn. By the north side of the track was, until recently, an old cart shed full of the remains of old carts and wheels: the last remnant of the agricultural past. It has now fallen down. South of the Conservation Area boundary a long open green space, stretching from School Road to Bar Lane, only barely separates the older village from the new residential estate beyond. It is important that this narrow “green belt” is preserved to retain at least a semblance of an “edge” to the older town. In addition the meadow to the east of Bar Lane is important to the setting of the conservation area. The Dereham Road On the north side are several houses of interest: Eynesford House (Listed), large and with extensive grounds, The Laurels (Listed) with a wooden verandah, Virginia House, The Beeches Tylers Mead and Cobb House. A former Nonconformist chapel has been damaged by 8 �FORM AND CHARACTER Conservation Area has now, therefore been extended to include these two adjoining areas REEPHAM MOOR Beyond Moor House The Moor takes on the character of a small rural linear settlement, quite different from that of the town itself. Buildings vary in age and size. There are many gaps between houses: it is important that these are retained and not filled in with new houses, which would destroy the historic character of the settlement. MOOR HOUSE Moor House (Listed) is a large late Victorian “fantasy house”. Built of red brick in an ornate “Tudor” style, it has a tower, a large conservatory and a wealth of chimneys and gables. It is set in spacious grounds with many fine trees. This area of parkland is of high landscape value, both on its own merits, as the setting to this large house and as the setting to the approach to the town. The recent restoration of the conservatory received a Reepham Society award. There are a number of buildings of interest and some important walls and trees. Listed buildings include The Old Monastery and the house next door, originally one fine early eighteenth house with a carved door canopy; The Thatched Cottage, a small timber framed house; Moor Lodge, a small Georgian house with a cast iron porch and Manor Farm, another Georgian house. NORWICH ROAD (FROM BIRCHAM ROAD TO THE MOOR) The Conservation Area has now been extended to include the important “parkland” and trees in front of Manor Farm, Fernbank, a house of some interest, and the land to the south side of the road which remains largely undeveloped and is important to the setting of The Moor. (for the rest of Norwich Road see above under The Town Centre) The approach to the town from Norwich is at first along a straight road from Booton. But from the junction with The Moor it bends to the left so that the entrance to the town is not revealed till the last minute. At the same time trees and hedges enclose the road on both sides. On the north side are the grounds of Moor House followed by The Ollands estate. On the south side a number of houses of interest include The White House (Listed) and St Mary’s School (red brick Victorian “tudor” style). TRADITIONAL MATERIALS The character of Reepham owes much to the traditional use of a limited “palette” of building materials. Some of these are indigenous to the area (e.g. red brick, red and black pantiles, thatch, timber frame, sand-lime render and flint); some have come from other parts of Norfolk (e.g. gault brick –originally creamy-white but weathered to grey); others have been imported from further afield (e.g. stone and slate). As one would expect, the materials brought from elsewhere tend to be confined to the more prestigious buildings. Stone was used on both surviving Medieval churches. Black pantiles are used on a number of buildings, but, though indigenous, they would have been more costly. Thatch survives on only one building, but would have been more common in earlier days. There are known to be many timber framed structures concealed behind late brick facades. Other framed buildings are rendered over, as - in most cases – was probably always intended. Only one 9 �THINGS WHICH DETRACT FROM THE CHARACTER OF THE AREA timber frame is exposed on the outside: part of the Cardinal’s Hat in Back Street. THINGS WHICH DETRACT FROM THE CHARACTER OF THE AREA Ground surfacing materials affect the character of a place. Almost all the hard surfaces in public areas are tarmacadam or asphalt, though a few more traditional materials survive here and there (e.g brick paving on the footpath in Church Hill). The use of reclaimed york stone paving in Merchant’s Yard is highly commendable. A lot has been done since 1972 to address problems identified at that time. Hardly any buildings are now falling into decay or are without a use. In some cases buildings have been demolished, but many more have been renovated or converted. The things which now detract from the character of the area are more likely to arise from unsympathetic “improvements” than from neglect. There are however a few cases of decay or neglect, but mostly of a minor nature. In several parts of Reepham, not only within the Conservation Area, the streetlights are of a distinctive type with scrolled brackets, all painted green and probably dating from the inter-war period. They make a subtle contribution to the town’s distinct local identity and should not be replaced with standard modern fittings. Decay or neglect • Depot in School Road south of Old Maltings. • Victorian iron railings to house on north side of Norwich Road by entrance to Malthouse Yard. • Timber fencing to enclosure at rear of Old Brewery House Hotel. (See also below under Opportunities for Enhancement). • Timber fencing to rear gardens to modern houses south of Malthouse Yard. (See also below under Opportunities for Enhancement). • Planting at east end of Brewery Lane. Unsympathetic new developments • Supermarket at corner of Church Hill and Ollands Road. • Listed wall in Church Street at rear of Rookery Farm: new doors and windows and paint colour. • Unsympathetic window replacements. This is particularly damaging in terraces or groups of similar houses where some unity needs to be retained. Examples can be seen in Church Street and Ollands Road and elsewhere in the Conservation Area. 10 �OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENHANCEMENT • Opening up front gardens for parking. This is probably inevitable, but there may be ways in which it can be achieved creatively. OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENHANCEMENT • Boarded fence at rear of gardens facing green open space at entrance to Bircham Road. • The character of the town centre would be greatly enhanced by re-surfacing the Market Place from Town’s End to St Michael’s churchyard together with Church Hill. The emphasis in any paving scheme should be on simplicity and good quality materials. • Replacement of streetlights with standardised modern examples. • The planting of trees or shrubs along the north east side of the green open space at the entrance to Bircham Road would mask the boarded fence (see above under Unsympathetic New Developments.) The aim should be to “break up” the straight line of the fence by informal grouping of plants, rather than the planting of a straight “hedge”. • The planting of a few trees, together perhaps with the installation of seats, on the green open spaces between Bar Lane and School Road. • Refurbishment of vintage street light fittings 11 �APPENDIX A It is desirable, therefore, that details of proposals should be discussed with Planning Control Officers or Conservation Officers at an early stage, preferably before submission of formal planning applications. APPENDIX A : THE EFFECT OF DESIGNATION DESIGNATION Alterations and Extensions/ Permitted Development Section 69, Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 requires local authorities to identify Conservation Areas and to designate them after consultation with the Parish Councils concerned, statutory undertakers and with other interested bodies. The form of control relating to alterations and extensions differs between Listed and unlisted buildings within Conservation Areas. The Town & Country (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 permits, within certain limits, alterations or extensions to any building* without the need to obtain specific planning consent. However, any proposal to alter or extend a Listed Building, within the limits of permitted development, requires Listed Building Consent if, in the opinion of the local planning authority, this would affect its character. Beyond the limits laid down in the Town & Country (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 both planning permission and Listed Building Consent will be required. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Any application for permission to carry out development which affects the character or appearance of the Conservation Area must be publicly advertised on site and in the local press not less than 21 days before it is determined by the Local Planning Authority. This may in some cases apply to developments on the fringe or margins of the Conservation Area where it is considered the proposed development may affect the character or appearance of the Conservation Area. Owners of unlisted buildings can extend or alter their properties within the limits of permitted development without the need to obtain Listed Building Consent. In some situations such alterations or extensions can have a detrimental effect upon the visual amenity of the street scene and character of the Conservation Area. DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT New Development The local planning authority, as a general rule, will require that all planning applications for building works are accompanied by detailed plans and drawings. These drawings should illustrate proposed elevations in relation to existing and adjoining buildings or their immediate surroundings. The local authority would therefore encourage owners who wish to alter or extend their houses, to do so in a sympathetic manner. The authorities’ Conservation Officers will be pleased to give advice on matters of design and use of materials. The local planning authority must pay particular regard to the character of the Conservation Area and the possible effect any proposed development may have. Factors taken into consideration will be layout of buildings, scale, shape and form. A high standard of design and materials will also be expected. Peripheral elements such as design of walls, fences, planting and the visual effects of providing for vehicular traffic, e.g. access, parking areas, vision splays will similarly be considered. Specific attention is drawn to the amendment of permitted development rights introduced by the Town and Country (General Permitted Development) Order 1995. “In Conservation Areas, roof extensions and external cladding to a dwellinghouse, are no longer classed as permitted development. Planning consent must therefore be obtained”. If the local authority is satisfied that in the 12 �APPENDIX A interests of conservation it is necessary and expedient to bring under control any particular class or classes of ‘permitted development’, application may be made to the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions for a Direction under Article 4 of the Town and Country (General Permitted Development) Order 1995, for that purpose DESIGN GUIDANCE / HEDGEROW LEGISLATION Window Replacements Window replacements are often the most serious threat to the appearance of our conservation areas and may even affect the value of properties. *building means in this case, a dwellinghouse Town and Country (General Permitted Development) Order 1995. The replacement of timber windows with PVCu is likely to result in several problems Demolition • The material cannot reproduce profiles and detailing of traditional joinery With minor exceptions, no building within a Conservation Area may be demolished without the consent of the local planning authority. Additionally, demolition of a ‘Listed Building’ requires Listed Building Consent and the approval of the Secretary of State. • The variety can destroy the visual harmony of the streetscene • The material is not as easy and economic to repair as timber • It does not have the biodegradable qualities of timber when redundant, creating an environmental land fill hazard. Where a building which is of particular importance in maintaining the character of a Conservation Area has been allowed to decay, the Secretary of State may direct a local authority to ensure that repairs necessary to make the building weatherproof are carried out. NB: All complete window replacements are now required to achieve minimum insulation values – please consult the CNC Building Control Consultancy at Broadland District Council. Tree Preservation In the interests of conservation, local authorities are also empowered to relax the requirements under Building Control Regulations when considering proposals for the restoration or conversion of historic buildings. It is an offence to fell, lop, top, cause wilful damage, destroy or remove a tree in a Conservation Area without first giving the local planning authority at least 6 weeks notice in writing. In that period, the authority may either seek to preserve the tree by serving a Tree Preservation Order in which case express consent then be obtained for any remedial work. If no such Order is served then work can proceed. Other repairs that can have a detrimental impact include: • • • • • Alterations to roofing materials Inappropriate repointing techniques Inappropriate repointing materials Painting, rendering or cladding brickwork Removal of decorative architectural features such as stone or window surrounds • Installing modern plastic rainwater gutters and downpipes For trees which are already the subject of Tree Preservation Orders express consent of the local planning authority must be obtained before any remedial work is undertaken. Careful repairs are as important as major alterations and extensions. 13 �APPENDIX A Important Hedgerows Under the Hedgerow Regulations 1997 (S1 No. 1160): Conservation Section Broadland District Council Thorpe Lodge, 1 Yarmouth Road, Norwich, NR7 0DU 01603 430 520 conservation@broadland.gov.uk • It is against the law to remove most countryside hedgerows without permission. • To get permission to remove a hedgerow you must notify your local planning authority. • If the authority decide to prohibit removal of an important hedgerow, it must let you know within 6 weeks. • If you remove a hedgerow without permission (whether it is important or not) you may face an unlimited fine, you may also have to replace the hedgerow. • For further information regarding the hedgerow legislation see D.O.E. leaflet ‘The Hedgerow Regulations – Your Questions Answered’. GRANTS Grant assistance may be available for both listed and unlisted buildings or structures which are of amenity value to the conservation area, both for repair and enhancement. Grants may also be available for tree work / planting.

Now have a stroll back towards the west end of St. Mary’s and please do have a go at our ‘Stained Glass Interactive’. You can get really creative with this and build your own stories in it! FOUND Who are the people watching Jesus as He is lifted to Heaven? Reepham is amazing! Most places have one church in one churchyard. Sometimes they might even have two, but Reepham actually once had THREE! There is only one other place in the whole of Europe that ever had three churches in one churchyard. 9 Town Sign An ancient myth associated with Reepham says that three local sisters were responsible for the building of a church each! As you leave the churchyard and head towards the market place, you might see these sisters on Reepham’s lovely town sign. The lost church of All Saints, Hackford Find the east window (1919) which shows the Ascension – when Jesus was lifted to Heaven following His resurrection. HERITAGE DETECTIVE TRAIL You will find further information here about All Saints on the nearby Interpretation Board. 7 Chancel and Ascension Window Here you will find a very special and peaceful place, dedicated to the memory of those who saw service or lost their lives in the First World War (1914-1918). Three Churches in One Churchyard The tower has been left only half built in the picture so that you can carefully restore and complete it! ST. MICHAEL’S, WHITWELL Now walk up the steps and follow the arrow through the passageway that leads from St. Mary’s into St. Michael’s. You will now find yourself in the chancel of St. Michael’s, the second of our three churches. Until 1935 these two buildings were separate, but now they are connected - as you can see! Reepham’s Most of All Saints burnt down during the Great Fire of Reepham in 1543! However, its tower was left standing until that too was demolished in 1796. Stand next to the fragment of wall and use the artist’s impression below to help you imagine what All Saints may have once looked like. FOUND This sign was designed by pupils from Reepham High school and installed in 1992. It shows everything in groups of three! Have a close look and write down what are grouped into threes: St. Michael’s, Whitwell St. Mary’s, Reepham 10 Why? ALL SAINTS, HACKFORD Did you manage to have a think about WHY Reepham has three churches in one churchyard? If you did, then write your answer down here (and don’t worry, no-one really knows for sure!) 8 Ruined Porch Fragment Reepham’s third church, All Saints, is a little harder to find as there is hardly any of it left! Go into the churchyard and try to find this fragment of wall, which was part of the porch leading into All Saints. You may need all of your Heritage Detective skills to find this! FOUND Two of Reepham’s three churches, St. Mary’s and St. Michael’s, are still used for regular worship and for a wide range of community activities. They have been here since before 1300! The third church, All Saints, was mostly destroyed in the ‘Great Fire of Reepham’ in 1543 and was later demolished. Only a tiny bit of All Saints is left today! We really hope that you have enjoyed this Heritage Detective’s Trail around Reepham’s three churches. Remember to check out the website www.reephambenefice.org.uk The Trail was written by Saul Penfold and the pupils of Reepham Primary School – thank you. The illustrations are by Mike McEwen. Reepham Parochial Church Council gratefully acknowledges financial support from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Yet no one knows for sure WHY Reepham ever had three churches in the same churchyard. Perhaps you can answer this as you uncover the secrets of these three amazing buildings..... �This Heritage Detective’s Trail has been designed to be enjoyed by people of all ages. It will take you on a tour of Reepham’s three churches, asking you to use your detective skills of observation, critical thinking, note taking and sketching as you go. We hope you enjoy it! St. Mary’s Enlarged Plan ST. MARY’S, REEPHAM In the middle of the chancel floor you will see these wonderful brasses, showing the burial place of Sir William de Kerdiston (who died in 1391) and also of his wife. The brasses have suffered a bit over time and Sir William is missing one and one half of his legs! He’s bound to appreciate you restoring his legs on the picture above, so see if you can carefully draw them back in! 1 The Font This ancient stone font stands at the west end of St. Mary’s. This is the only font that remains from the three churches. It is used for Baptisms, a service of celebration when people decide to follow Jesus. FOUND N 6 5 4 St Mary’s Reepham 2 Pew End Carvings Move a short distance to the centre aisle of St. Mary’s and look carefully to find these strange medieval carvings in the ends of the pews. Tick the boxes when you have found them: They are certainly unusual looking animals – what do you think they are? 3 2 1 7 FOUND 3 3 4 Brasses See if you can also draw in the creature that Sir William would have been standing on. You can just about make out the creature’s claws.

Continue along the central aisle until you reach an area called the chancel. The floor tiles here show symbols of Jesus’ Crucifixion. See if you can find the tiles showing the dice that the Roman soldiers used to gamble for Jesus’ clothes. However, before you begin your trail, take a couple of minutes to sit or stand quietly in this ancient space and to gather your thoughts. How many of these ‘dice tiles’ can you find? Maybe have a think about why the churches are here and about the many thousands of people who have used them before you in the past. Remember that you are always welcome to stop, pray and to light a candle during your time here in Reepham’s three churches. FOUND 8 Connecting route from St Mary’s to St Michael’s FOUND On the north wall of what is called the sanctuary, you will find an amazing piece of medieval sculpture. This is the tomb of Sir Roger de Kerdiston (died 1337) and is one of the real treasures of this church. Sir Roger lies in full armour on a bed of cobbles (is he on the beach?) with a rather jolly looking lion, or maybe it’s a dog, at his feet. Why do you think Sir Roger is lying on a bed of cobbles (your guess is as good as ours!) What might the lion at his feet indicate about Sir Roger’s personality and character? Have a look towards the bottom of the monument and you will see ten small figures, known as weepers. Why do you think these figures are called ‘weepers’?

MICHAEL’S, WHITWELL The tower with its fine flush-work, parapet, pinnacles and buttresses was built in the 1300s. The ring of eight bells was hung in a new frame in 1979. The nave has five bays set in very deep wall arches. THE CHURCHYARD Welcome to On the west side near the market place is the site of the Pound, where stray animals were impounded until claimed. In this area stands the town sign (see front page). Reepham’s Three Churches Yew trees are very long-lived and so are symbols of Resurrection. These boxes in the text enable you to appreciate the churches as places of pilgrimage and prayer as well as for their historical interest. R The nave was completely refurbished in 2011 with the support of several local and national organisations and a bequest from Miss Barbara Owen, who is commemorated in the gallery. Underfloor heating is provided by a ground-source heat-pump. This mediaeval building now provides an excellent venue for many church and social activities and events. The chancel can be accessed from St. Mary’s when the nave is closed or in use. It is now separated by a glass screen. It was restored as a WWI memorial and houses the memorial itself. At the same time the fine glass of the east window was installed. It is a good example of art nouveau, designed by Reginald Frampton, and depicts the Ascension. Pray here with angels and archangels and the whole company of heaven: Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. A memorial stone in the south east corner marks the grave of the remains of many 14c people, unearthed in the course of repairs to Church Street nearby. The presence of remains indicates that the churchyard once extended over the street. In the Conservation Area nearby wildflowers are left to grow as a reminder that churchyards are pockets of ancient meadowland. It is mown and the hay cleared in August to enable the plants to thrive. On the north side of St. Mary’s is a strip of land where lady’s smock (a flower of Our Lady) and spotted orchids make a beautiful annual display. All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all. A memorial on the north wall commemorates Messenger Monsey (1694-1788), who was the son of a Vicar of Whitwell and who was an eccentric physician to the Royal Hospital Chelsea. ALL SAINTS, HACKFORD After the fire in 1543, the tower, south porch (of which a fragment survives) and some of the nave, stood until 1796 when they were demolished. A recent geophysical survey, confirmed by archaeological test pits, has revealed the foundations of the church, which is now delineated by yew hedging marking the corners. Steps from the main path, information boards, and a seat enable visitors to appreciate and enjoy this sacred space. The Three Parishes N We thank you for your visit. This leaflet is free, but a donation in the box by the door of St. Mary’s would be welcome. Please sign the Visitors’ Book. www.reephambenefice.org.uk Bless, O Lord, all who are sick and sad, and all doctors and nurses and carers, through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. eepham is unique in once having three mediaeval churches in the churchyard. The town sign depicts the story that they were built by three sisters, who had fallen out with each other. Maybe the strange proximity of three churches is a result of rivalry, but the real reason remains a mystery. Originally the churches of three adjoining parishes, they were united into one parish in 1935. This guide has been written by Tony Foottit. Reepham PCC acknowledges the compilers of previous guides including N.W.Groves and Michael Sayer, and illustrations by Lorna Gray, Mike McEwen and David Richmond. REEPHAM & KERDISTON HACKFORD Reepham Parochial Church Council gratefully acknowledges financial support from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Shared Churchyard We wish you well as you leave to continue your journey in life. Thanks be to you, O Lord, for all that you have done for me. May I know you more clearly, love you more dearly, and follow you more nearly, day by day. WHITWELL Market Place 2 1 N (St. Richard of Chichester) 1 Reepham & Kerdiston (St. Mary’s) 2 Hackford (All Saints) 3 Whitwell (St. Michael’s) 3 �ST. MARY’S REEPHAM On the west wall in the south corner are the royal arms carved in relief and dated ‘GR 1745’ i.e. of King George II. Also in this corner is an ancient alms box. On either side of the west window are commandment boards, which would once have been on either side of the east window. (& KERDISTON) 4 3 2 5 6 7 We thank you, O Lord, for our Queen and country, and pray for her and all in authority under her, and for those who administer justice in the keeping of your commandments in our land. 4 On the pillar near the font is the head of a churchyard cross, which is said to have marked the spot where the three parishes of Hackford, Reepham and Whitwell met. The figures of St. Mary and St. John are under the cross, and, on the back, St. Michael between St. Andrew and St. Christopher. 8 1 N 1 The tower is in an unusual position – halfway along the south side. This may be because the old parish boundary between Whitwell and Reepham passed along the west end of St. Mary’s, and a tower at that end would have then been in Whitwell parish. There are two bells. One is inscribed BEATI QUI HABITAT IN DOMO TUA DOMINE (Blessed is he who dwells in your house, O Lord), and on the waist DE BURI SANTE EDMONDE STEFANVS TONNI ME FECIT (Stephen Tonni of Bury St. Edmund’s made me) with a crucifix and the date 1559. The other bell is dated 1811. Thank you, Lord, for these churches, and their towers and bells calling us to worship. Help us to worship and pray as we follow in the footsteps of countless visitors to this holy place. 2 The nave is of uncertain date, but the south aisle was added in the 1200s, and the north aisle, with slightly different pillars, in the 1300s. A clerestory was replaced by the barrel vault (curved ceiling) in 1790. Strange animals are carved on the mediaeval benches at the back. 3 The font dates from about 1100 and is made of Purbeck marble. Here people have been baptised with water for some 800 years to begin their Christian journey. Near the font is an area for children’s activities, and a model to create your own stained glass window. Here you may light a candle if you wish, as a prayer. We thank you, Father, for all who are baptised into God’s family and help them grow in the faith of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. 6 Another Kerdiston, Sir William (d. 1391), and his wife are buried in the middle of the chancel under a damaged brass memorial. The south wall contains seats for clergy (known as sedilia), a basin for washing communion vessels (known as a piscina), and a niche with an ogee arch used as a side-table (known as a credence). The communion table is possibly originally of the 1600s, and the choirstalls have Victorian bench-end symbols of the evangelists (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). Here Morning and Evening Prayer are offered daily. Communion is celebrated every week here or in St. Michael’s. We thank you, O Lord, for the sacrament of Communion, and all who have received your body and blood in bread and wine in this place through many centuries. Bless all who now celebrate and share in Communion in obedience to your holy command. 7 The east window contains a depiction of the Crucifixion by Michael O’Connor. The other Victorian windows contain stained glass designed by William George Taylor. 5 The chancel unusually is lower than the nave. It was completely restored in 1880 at the expense of Lady Amelia Jodrell who lived in the neighbouring parish of Salle. Her arms, together with emblems of the Passion, are featured on the floor tiles. In the north wall of the sanctuary is the very fine monument of Sir Roger de Kerdiston who died in 1337. He may have been a crusader who died in battle. On top of the tomb-chest lies his figure in armour with crossed legs and lying on a bed of cobbles. Do the cobbles represent his painful death or his sorrow for his sins? At his feet is a lion, a symbol of courage. Around the base are 10 small figures weeping in sadness. O Lord, remember not only the men and women of good will, but also those of ill will. But do not only remember the suffering they afflicted on us, remember the fruits we bought thanks to this suffering: our comradeship, our loyalty, our humility, our courage, the generosity, the greatness of heart that has grown out of all this. (from a scrap of paper found in a concentration camp) At the chancel step thousands have renewed their baptismal promises in confirmation and made their marriage vows. On either side of the chancel steps are the lectern from which the Bible is read and the pulpit from which the Word of God is preached. 8 The iron scroll work (1400s) on the vestry (tower) door is very fine. Bless, O Lord, our coming in and our going out, and keep us safe, through Him who is the door of the sheep, even Jesus Christ, Our Lord. � Text - printed Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I was so happy to finally put this to rest. “I must confess I’m still a bit unnerved by the Walking Man, but at least, thanks to [the Archive], I know all the facts. “My daughter, too, is fascinated with this story and plans to feature an image of the Walking Man in an art installation as part of her degree course. “I wanted to share all this and hopefully let Mr Lain’s family know that my overactive childhood imagination has kept the Walking Man alive and that he will be walking on for perhaps a little longer too.” William Lain pictured in March 1972 with his statue outside his workshop in Norwich Road, Reepham.

He wrote on behalf of a friend whose family had lived in Reepham for many years. It was discovered through a chance question to Michael Black that the statue had existed and stood in the yard on Norwich Road where William Lain had a stonemasonry and sculpting business in the premises that now houses Rococo Loco and included workshops and storage in Bircham’s Yard. William and his wife opened the business in 1972 under the name Walking Man Antiques, specialising in porcelain and small items of furniture. The opening was reported in the Eastern Daily Press in March. Later that year a further article appeared reporting damage caused by vandals to the Walking Man statue. The seven-foot-high sculpture had fortunately fallen onto a sack of earth, saving it from serious damage but chipping his hat and cape. The Lain family kindly found some old newspaper cuttings, copies of which were sent to Mr Davies the tour guide and his friend Andrew Hunt, who later wrote of his childhood memories of the statue. This article has been edited from those cuttings and Andrew’s information will appear in a future item. William Lain in June 1972 with the fallen statue.
