Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Gables An 18th century house with shaped gables.
A track can be seen in mid-distance, turning off in the bend by the flint and brick cottages; it leads to Cley windmill > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/842819 one of the sails of which can just be glimpsed above the rooftops. Present-day Cley is not in the same location as the medieval village of Cley used to be. This was located south of St Margaret's church > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/309410 and had a busy harbour, which was ruined by embanking in the 1640s by Sir Henry Calthorpe. A fire had already encouraged relocation in 1612. When Thomas Telford had been called in, in 1822, to advise on the problem of silting the Cley channel, his advice was ignored and the once busy port is now history. Many of the houses and cottages that line the narrow High Street (A149) through the village are built from flint and brick and date from the 17th and 18th centuries. |
