New Marsh in Norfolk is a coastal marsh located along the North Sea in eastern England. It is an important area for wildlife conservation, as it is home to a variety of bird species, including wading birds, ducks, and geese. The marsh is characterized by its muddy tidal flats, salt marshes, and freshwater pools, which provide habitats for a diverse range of plants and animals.

The salt marshes of New Marsh are formed by the deposition of sediment carried by the tides, creating a unique ecosystem that is adapted to the high salinity levels of the water. These marshes are home to a variety of plant species, such as samphire and sea lavender, which thrive in the salty conditions.

In addition to its ecological importance, New Marsh is also a popular destination for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts, who come to observe the diverse range of bird species that inhabit the area. The marsh is part of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which aims to protect and preserve the natural beauty of the region for future generations to enjoy.

Village Sign

The new village sign at Walpole St Andrew. The sign commemorates the very successful steam rally that used to be held in the village for many years. In the background is the tower of St Andrew's Church.

Walpole St. Andrew's church

The church was built during the 15th century, using limestone for the nave and chancel and brick for the tower, which has a small cell built into the buttress at its south-west corner, possibly used as a galillee. On the floor beside the 15th century font is an older font bowl thought to date from the 12th century and originating from an earlier church. The Jacobean pulpit rests on a 15th century stone base and has a wrought-iron hourglass stand attached to it. A unique pulpit bracket, accessed by the stairs in the wall was what once supported the pulpit at a great height Some of the stalls in the chancel were made from 15th century pews. The arcades are soft stone, suffering from salt erosion and seems strangely weathered. The piscina in the chancel is very attractive. The Royal Arms are those of George III.

County boundary at Walpole on A17, 1956

View NW, towards Sutton Bridge (see notice-board), entering Lincolnshire (Holland) from Norfolk. The Midland & Great Northern Joint (South Lynn - Sutton Bridge section) main line ran parallel here, just to the left; the house was probably for the crossing-keeper. The modern, dual-carriage A17 was built on the former track-bed.

View eastward as TF5019 : County boundary at Walpole on A17, 1956, towards South Lynn and King's Lynn, at the turning (left) for Wingland. The modern dual-carriageway A17 now runs along the course of the former railway (closed 3/59). My - then new - Morris Oxford is in the centre.
