The neighbouring See also:country is very See also:flat, but the Bure affords See also:access to the Norfolk Broads, which give the See also:district its well-known individuality. The old See also:town of Great Yarmouth was built chiefly along the E.

A See also:grand W. front with towers and pinnacles was constructed in 1330-1338, but the building was interrupted by a visitation of the See also:plague. In the 16th See also:century the monumental See also:brasses were See also:cast into weights and the gravestones cut into grindstones. Within the church there were at one time eighteen chapels, maintained by See also:gilds or private families, but these were demolished by the Reformers, who sold the valuable utensils of the building and applied the See also:money to the widening of the channel of the See also:harbour. During the See also:Commonwealth the See also:Independents appropriated the chancel, the Presbyterians the N. See also:aisle and the Churchmen were allowed the See also:remainder of the building. The See also:brick walls erected at this time to See also:separate the different portions of the building remained till 1847. In 1864 the tower was restored, and the E. end of the chancel rebuilt; in 1869—187o the S. aisle was rebuilt; and in 1884 the S. See also:transept, the W. end of the nave and the N. aisle underwent restoration. The width of the nave is 26 ft., and the See also:total length of the church is 236 ft.

The See also:herring and See also:mackerel See also:fisheries are most important, and See also:fish-curing is an extensive See also:industry, Yarmouth bloaters being widely famous. The fishing See also:fleet See also:numbers some 500 vessels of 20,000 tons, and employs about 3000 hands.

Yarmouth (Gernemwa, Yernemuth), which lies near the site of the Roman See also:camp of Gariannonum, is believed to have been the landing-place of See also:Cerdic in the 5th century. Not long afterwards, the convenience of its situation having attracted many fishermen from the Cinque Ports, a permanent See also:settlement was made, and the town numbered seventy burgesses before the See also:Conquest.
