Start Point: The Car Park at Heacham Church on Old Hunstanton Road
   

Enter now the hallowed ground,
An ancient angel walk around
And sacred to the memory, see
Where reverend Rolfe (he’s SCE)
Rest here unto this very day,
How old was he when passed away?

Q1 ………………………………………

   

Around church back walk on the grass,
Memorial of war don’t pass.
Position it behind your rear
And you will see, by the church near
Where lies the local history lady
In this place so calm and shady.
On back of grave the Latin reads
“Aestimemur Agendo” –please
Tell me in English very plain
Just what was this lady’s name?

Q2…………………………………….

 
   

To porch I bid you make your way,
And full name now I tell you say
(I’ll think your skill so highly rated)
To whom this church is dedicated

Q3…………………………………………

 
   

Across the road from house of church,
Please don’t leave me in the lurch,
And write the name-know what I mean?
Of house across the road so cream.

Q4…………………………………………….

 
   

Now walk down hill towards the town
A building you will see so brown
Tell me before you rush straight in
The name of this impressive inn

Q5…………………………………………….

   

Nearby you’ll see with much elation
The famous “Heacham Declaration”
I hope you’ll say, with good intent
Who was it opened Parliament?

Q6…………………………………………….

 
   

Now passed the Bulldog sign go all,
And quickly find the Public hall,
Tell me here the date first built. (7)
If you are late then feel no guilt
Instead to make a decent rhyme
Whose memory helps us keep to time? (8) 

Q7……………………………………

 

Q8……………………………………

   

When Pound lane on your left you see
Along this way I bid you be
At office of the Parish stop
For info it’s a one stop shop
I won’t take you out of way
Original purpose you must say

Q9……………………………………..

 
   

Next “In Heacham” member see
Tell me business name with glee

Q10……………………………………..

 
   

On towards the street so high
Continue now your task to ply,
Keep on going don’t look back,
if you desire a little snack,
Or maybe just some Pantry Fayre.
If they’re shut you’re just too late,
But not to tell me what’s the date?

Q11…………………………………………………

   

Across the road it’s not a sin
To look straight at the Card Cabin
Again the date I want to know
Then cross the road you have to go

Q12………………………………………………..

 
   

Outside the shop I said before,
Just take a look down on the floor
There are some letters marked out here
So write them for me very clear

Q13……………………………………………………

 
   

Now head on south down High Street wide
At Thain's keep to the left hand side
Until you come to local vets
Across the road you’ll see a place,
With name like a familiar face,
To viewers of the Yorkshire soap
The vicar’s wife, you know I hope
In Emmerdale she is quite famed
What is the pretty cottage named?

Q14…………………………………………………

 
   

Continue now to old chapel
You’ll see which one so very well
On narrow road please take great care
By doorway side, just as a pair
Please write down what is hanging there.

Q15……………………………………………..

 
   

Another date I want to know,
To find it you will have to go
And find when Seaton came from town
Foundation stone to lay right down
 

Q16…………………………………………

 
   

Back to Howard’s you must go
Hurry up you’re getting slow,
Down Caley street just speed your feet
Right to the end passed villas neat
Then left to Pound Lane at the top,
Then left at Station Road, don’t stop
Until you come to Doctor’s place
The number write down with good grace

Q17………………………………………..

 
   

I hope the answer will appeal
When you see house of Mr Neale
I trust that it’s not such a bore,
To write what is there just next door.
 

Q18…………………………………….

 
   

As you press on towards North Beach
Our new skate park you will first reach
I really think its not obtuse
How many conditions of use?

 

Q19…………………………………………

 
   

So have a look around nearby
And find where from the flag does fly
There’s three things here you need to say,
First who can’t go in Pit of Bray?
 

Q20………………………………………

 

 

A tyre so heavy you can’t lift
Then tell me who gave us this gift 

Q21………………………………………

   

And lastly who’s the man so strong
Of Blacksmiths craft ago so long?

 

Q22……………………………………………

 
   

Back to the station road you veer,
It’s not far now so don’t despair,
And head towards our own North Beach
For towel and cossie maybe reach?
But please I beg you tell me first
Where Dr Beeching did his worst,
To what use is it put right now?
Old Station GER I vow.

 

Q23……………………………………………

 
   

As road runs up to climb the bank,
Our famous In’jun princess thank,
For here her symbol you will see
Just what it is, you please tell me.
 

Q24………………………………………………

 
   

So carry on towards the sea,
You’re nearly there, so stop with glee
On bridge so white I bid you wait,
Again I want to know the date,(25)
When bridge was opened, and please try
To tell me next the reason why.(26) 

Q25…………………………………………………

To top of ramp you must now scarper
To see from here a lot of markers
So count for me, gird up your loins,
The markers showing where the groins.

 

Q27…………………………………………………

 
   

Across from shop of qual-lit-ee
Looking into the grass you’ll see
A plaque about a famous girl
Who came to Heacham in a swirl,
Despite her name not in a car,
She travelled in the water far,
So tell me now, for it is true,
What did this famous lady do?(28)
Perhaps you know as well the date,
What does this plaque commemorate?(29)

 

Q28………………………………………………

 

Q29………………………………………………..

 
   

Along the prom where old meets new,
You’ll find at last the final clue,
So at the steps your pace retard,
And now look Oh so very hard,

Of course it is another date,
So tell when. Ne’er mind the day,
Before I send you on your way,
Was built new wall to stop the sea
By H2O authority?
