The ParishThe parish of Gimingham lies in northeastern Norfolk about 4 miles north of the market town of North Walsham and forming a tiny stretch of Norfolk's northeastern North Sea coastline. Gimingham is located roughly 2 miles west of the B1145 road which connects North Walsham with Mundesley. Despite its near coastal location Gimingham, like so many Norfolk parishes, is and was a farming parish with the majority of the land set to arable production, broad fields of cereals, oil seed and beet dominate the landscape today. Modern developments came and went for Gimingham, a branch railway line connecting Mundesley with Cromer for the Midland & Great Northern Line has long been removed with parts being utilised for the local footpath network. Gimingham is drained the short distance to the North Sea by a small stream, unnamed on OS maps, which enters the North Sea at the southern end of Mundesley. Gimingham's properties sit either side of that shallow valley at a height of around 30 metres above the sea land rises to the south reaching close to 50 metres in gentle terrain. Gimingham parish was fairly typically sized for this area, covering just under 1,500 acres it would have supported a population of close to 400 parishioners. In Domesday Times Gimingham was a substantial holding of William de Warennes offering 10 plough, the usual meadows & woodland but possessed an impressive 4 mills. |
