This land is historically important, Listed in the Norfolk Historic Environment Record as NHER.33463 as ‘The only example of a detached landscape park within a town in Norfolk’. It is incredibly important to local wildlife, linking all the gardens around. At a time when our native wildlife is under such threat, the last thing we should be doing with this area of undisturbed haven is building on it, or turning into public park space. It should be left wild. We should be PROUD of having this 'little bit of country coming right into town’, as John Betjeman put it.
