Village LifeTUESDAY
Lynn News, April 17, 20077
Website: www.lynnnews.co.ukLOCATED on the old road
to Norwich, Gayton is a
thriving village with a
wide range ofshops and
facilities.
It is a relatively spread-
out village, with a mixture
ofolder cottages and more
modern housing.
There is also Gayton
Hall, with its attractive
grounds, which are
normally open at least
once a year.
The parish church, St.
Nicholas, is very much a
focal point ofthe village,
and as well as regular
services, other events are
held there at different
times, such as flower
festivals and concerts.
The adjoining hamlet of
Gayton Thorpe, with its
beautiful round-towered
church, shares many of
the facilities ofGayton,
including the same vicar,
school and going to vote in
Gayton.
Gayton has a popular
football, cricket team and
Social Club. GRIMSTON has grown
enormously in the past 30
years, and this is reflected
in the local facilities.
There are plenty oflocal
organisations in the area,
including brownies, cubs,
scouts and beavers, as well
as a bowls club and
gardening club.
Grimston Village Hall,
which is actually in Pott
Row, is booked up
regularly and is used by a
multitude of
organisations. As well as
locals, the hall is used by
people from outside the
village.
The bowls club,
Greenfingers Club and
Women8217s Institute all use
the hall.
Approaching Grimston
via the rugged terrain of
Roydon Common, you get
the feeling you are
heading really deep into
the countryside.
Then you enter this
handsome Norfolk village
and suddenly you are very
much back amid the
comforts ofmodern life.
The elegant Congham
Hall country house hotel
and adjoining cricket
ground are also on the
main route into the village
centre.
Roydon and Congham
are both close by Grimston
and Pott Row, benefitting
from the proximity to the
facilities ofthe bigger
villages, while enjoying
the advantages ofa pretty,
rural setting.NOT ONLY is Pott Row right next door
to Grimston, but it also shares many
facilities with its large neighbour.
Grimston Village Hall, for instance, is
actually in Pott Row, and plays a major
role in the social life of both areas.
There is much more to Pott Row than
you will notice at first glance. It is one
of those 8216long8217 villages that seems to
get bigger and bigger, the further you
explore.
Indeed, it is well worth your time, for
not only is it a pretty village, but there
are some long-established specialist
businesses that may have just the
goods or services you are looking for.
Pott Row is also home to the
Fourville Players group, and their
productions have been enjoyed
immensely by local audiences down the
years.A long story
worth pursuingThriving community looking goodPractical as well as pretty...Grimston, above, is a
busy local centre.At first glance, Gayton, pictured above, has changed little
over the years.Pott Row has many pretty corners.CARAVAN CITY
