The Methodist Chapel is just one of those. Situated on Cliff Road it is now recognised as one of East Anglia's first buildings in the Modernist style.
The chapel was built on a plot of land donated by Lord and Lady Battersea owners of the nearby Pleasaunce, their country home and opened in 1898. Both the Pleasaunce and the chapel were designed by the eminent Edwardian architect Edwin Lutyens.
Now a listed building it was said that Lutyens based it's design on a fishing boat shed in Littlehampton and there was a passing similarity to the original lifeboat house on Cromer pier. Despite a lack of ground floor windows a clerestory supported by external piers floods light to a typically plain interior. It is the main entrance, however, with it's elaborate and intricate brick arches and decorative features that is the chapel's true architectural glory..

You are looking for a small round container. The cache is relatively easy to find but is in a high muggle area, particularly in the Summer, so please take care when retrieving and replacing it. You will need to bring your own pen. Road side parking is available but in the summer is at a premium. There is a pay and display car park on the cliff top and this is a convenient place to park if planning to spend a couple of hours in the village.
