A Norfolk hero remembered
Coxswain Henry Blogg (1876-1954) was the RNLI's most decorated lifeboat man. During his 53 years of service Blogg was awarded three Gold and four Silver RNLI medals for gallantry, as well as the George Cross and British Empire Medal.
The museum tells incredible stories of Cromer men putting their lives in danger to rescue strangers from the sea. You will find interviews with crew members, 'kit' to try on for yourself, model boats, Morse code practice and more in this super, family-friendly museum.
Recommended length of visit: 1 to 2 hours
Other good things to do near by
Visit the lifeboat station at the end of the pier and compare the museum lifeboat to the one in use today.
Walk the cliffs to the East of the museum and take in landmarks such as Cromer Lighthouse and Happy Valley, as well as some of the best views in Norfolk. On your way, look out for the bronze bust of Henry Blogg, looking out to sea.
