Walkers are Welcome Town - Dereham

The poet and hymn writer, William Cowper (1731-1800) settled and died in Dereham, Norfolk. He wrote of life in the English countryside, becoming a forerunner of Romantic Poetry. He was much admired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth.

Cowper’s House in Dereham Market Place was demolished, and the Cowper Evangelical Congregational Church was built in his memory.
