About Fencing in Sheringham
Sheringham in Norfolk takes its name from a Scandinavian phrase meaning the settlement of Scira's people, reflecting Viking settlement in the area from around 900 AD, and the parish long comprised two villages, Upper Sheringham given over to farming and Lower Sheringham combining farming with fishing. The town became a major centre for crab and lobster fishing in the late 19th century, with as many as 200 boats supplying the London markets once the railway made rapid transport possible, and although the fleet has shrunk to around ten boats today, Sheringham crab remains well known thanks to the chalk reef lying just offshore, the largest of its kind in Europe.
