Heacham is a little known village between King's Lynn and Hunstanton. It has neither the size nor the traffic of its larger neighbours but has two beaches, some thriving businesses and a lively Church, and is very much a live English Village.
Heacham also has an historic link with the Indian Princess, Pocahontas, recently popularised by the Disney films. The link is celebrated by a memorial in the Church and the inclusion of a replica of the Church plaque on the Village sign.
We remember our dead of the two world wars on a splendid war memorial hard by the Church, and in our fine Public Hall. This was the Village of the first co-ed school in the country, here Frank Southgate R.A. came to teach painting and drawing.
Sir Alfred Munnings came to the riding school to paint the horses and mares with foals at foot - sadly both school and horses are no more.
