A North Norfolk Bike Ride This little book takes you on a bike ride around the North Norfolk lanes, stopping at their pubs and churches, learning of their history and legends, and meeting some of their interesting folk from the past. There was the eccentric Zurishadai Girdlestone, for instance, the inventive Mr Hase, the literary Bulwer-Lyttons, the letter-writing Pastons, the unfortunate Rev. Davidson, the cruel Major Jermy and the gallant Captain Hoste, the saintly Alfred Jodrel, the fearless Captain Rasmussen, the love-sick James Hackman, the misfortunate Cloudsley Shovell, the pioneering Thomas Cook, John Bacon, Prince of the Averroeists, the musical blacksmith James Cletheroe and the inventive genius, Johnston Jex. They and many more travellers of yore cross our path, in the company of kings, queens and celebrities of every era since Boudica.
