'All England may be carved out of Norfolk. Here are fens and heaths, and light and deep, and sand and clay-ground, and meadows and pasture, and arable and woody ... so grateful is this shire with the variety thereof'. — Thomas Fuller, The History of the Worthies of England. 1672. [per: R.W.Ketton-Cremer, Norfolk in the Civil War. 1969]
