You could see bones': Families' anguish over coastal erosion threat to Norfolk graves

My parents wanted this to their final resting place, but it isn't going to be because of the sea. Projections suggest at least part of the churchyard could fall into the sea in the next 80 years, but Mason fears it will happen much sooner. I think it's got less than 20 years, if you look at what's happened in the last 30 years, he said.

Checking In | The Gunton Arms

The Gunton Arms is not your average country pub however. Rather than being in the heart of cute little village, it's tucked inside the 1,000-acre grounds of Gunton Park, surrounded by wide open fields and lots and lots of deer. It's run by art dealer Ivor Braka, and his eclectic collection is scattered throughout the pub and bedrooms - think Tracey Emin in the dining room, Damien Hirst in the bar - making it as much gallery as gastropub.
