I wish more churches did this Seen at St Mary, Old Hunstanton: it can save a burning church. About 15 years ago insurance companies insisted on a postcode. Many churches did not have one. Many form fillers put in their own postcode, often some way from the church. As a result, several churches were burnt down because the fire engines went to another postcode.

Smithdon School, Hunstanton Built as Hunstanton Secondary Modern School in 1949-1954, this building was designed by Peter and Alison Smithson, leading lights in the post-war "Brutalist" movement in architecture (contrary to what one might imagine, it got its name from the French “béton brut”, untreated concrete, rather than from any comment on its sympathy or lack of it).
