Nice little museum at the side of the church giving a small history of Cromer and archeology in the area. I was a little disappointed that it was only a short display. Staff where very friendly in the shop

Museum open 1st January, not sure if this is just a one off for the Bank Holiday. Despite the modern frontage the main museum is in a row of former fishermen’s cottages. Worth a visit. Friendly staff (or volunteers?)
