Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History, Antiquities,& Geology, of Bacton, in Norfolk The following pages have been drawn up in compliance with the suggestions of many friends, who wished to be possessed of a succinct and authentic history of the village of Bacton to which they refer. This history the writer has endeavoured to give, as far as time and materials would allow. The notices of Bacton and the Priory of Broomholme hitherto published have been somewhat beyond the reach of many individuals, being generally distributed through various voluminous and expensive works. From these works the writer has gleaned whatever appears to be of importance; and these gleanings, combined with original materials, he trusts, will be useful in bringing further into public notice a village, hitherto but little known, and antiquities but too little valued. The Geology of this district has been glanced at but partially by Mr. Lyell; and to the statements of that gentleman the writer feels happy in being able to make some interesting additions, which he hopes may, at a future period, serve as the basis of a more extended work. The illustrations are all original, and were drawn expressly for this work. The sketch of the Section of Cliffs from Happisburgh to Trimmingham is given to show the immediate connection of the chalk with the superimposed strata; evidencing the probability of its being the immediate bed on which the strata rests.
