ABOUT NORFOLK LAVENDER
We have a long history here in Norfolk. Our founder Linn Chilvers originally ran a nursery garden and florists’ business in Heacham.
5 Bar Gate - Norfolk Lavender's first fieldBut he had always dreamed of growing lavender on a large scale; however most of the local farmers rubbished the idea and it looked like his vision would never come to fruition, but then Linn met Francis ‘Ginger’ Dusgate of Fring Hall who thought Linns’ plan worthy of trial. In 1932 the two men went into partnership to grow and distil lavender.
The great venture started with Ginger providing 6 acres of land and Linn supplied the 13,000 plants required. The planting was done by three men and a boy in eighteen days for a total cost of £15. So began the long tradition of Norfolk Lavender.
Linn Chilvers’ lavenders produced oil of excellent quality and yield. In 1936 the partnership bought 2 stills which had been made in 1874, they paid for themselves time and time again being used until 2009. They are now in our distillery museum.
Lavender Farm (1962)
Heacham Lavender Farm, Norfolk.
C/U shot of face of a man smelling a bright violet lavender flower. M/S of another man picking the flower and smelling it. They inspect the flowers to see if they are ready for harvesting. Long panning shot of a vast field of lavender, growing in bushy ridges.
This could be a remote, sweet smelling vineyard lulled fast asleep by Mediterranean breezes - says the voiceover. L/S of the farmhouse and the sign saying Norfolk Lavender. Little country road leads to the farm. The farm belongs to Mr. T. E. Collison, seen earlier on inspecting the lavender.
At the Heacham Lavender farm, warm-scented English lavender is grown to distil its fragrant oils to make the most delicate perfumes... the Romans brought lavender in Britain and perfumed their baths with it... the experts would tell you that English lavender presents the true scent of the living flower better then any other variety grown.
Various shots of women and men working in the lavender field, cutting and collecting flowers, putting them into baskets and taking the baskets away. Interesting C/U shot of the lavender being cut. Pretty shot of a little girl in the lavender field picking flowers. Lavender is put into sacks to be transported to distillery.
Succession of shots in the distillery showing the whole process from the sacks of lavender arriving until the scented liquid pours into a jug - lavender oil. Some great C/U shots of the distillation process.
Lavender oil, same as wine, matures and improves with age.

Heacham is a town in West Norfolk, England, located beside The Wash, between King's Lynn, 14 miles to the south and Hunstanton, about 3 miles to the north. It has been a seaside resort for a century and a half. There is evidence of settlement in the Heacham area for around the last 5,000 years, with numerous Neolithic and later Bronze Age finds throughout the parish.
The name Heacham is more likely to have derived from the name of the river, The Hitch, in conjunction with the Old English word ham or hamm which meant either homestead, village, manor, estate or enclosure, land hemmed by water or marsh or higher ground, land in a river bend, river meadow, promontory. In 1085 the manor of Heacham was given by William de Warenne to a cell of Cluniac monks from the Priory of St Pancras of Lewes to pray for the soul of his late wife Gundreda. After the dissolution, around 1541, the manor passed to Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk.
Heacham has historic ties to Pocahontas, who married John Rolfe, a native of this village on 5 April 1614 at a church in Jamestown, Virginia. Rolfe took his wife, Rebecca (Pocahontas), and their two-year-old son, Thomas, to visit his family at Heacham Hall in 1616, but settled in Brentford. A year later, Rebecca died in Gravesend, when John was going to return her to Virginia. She was laid to rest at St George's parish churchyard. After that, John returned to Virginia with Tomocomo. Samuel Argall commanded the ship. Thomas was guarded by Lewis Stukley and later adopted by John's brother, Henry. John married Jane Pierce two years later. They soon had a daughter named Elizabeth. Perhaps John lost his life in the 1622 Native American massacre near Jamestown. The Rolfe family home, Heacham Hall, burned down in 1941.
Heacham started to become popular as a seaside resort with the Victorians due to the opening of the railway between King's Lynn and Hunstanton in the early 1860s. This culminated in the building of the Jubilee Bridge in 1887 to replace an old wooden bridge, using unspent subscriptions from parishioners to the celebrations for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. Heacham is still popular today as a seaside resort. Both the North Beach (Jubilee) Road and South Beach Road are lined with caravan parks. The beaches at Heacham are situated on the east banks of The Wash; this means it is one of the few beaches in eastern England where the sun sets over the sea instead of over the land.
On 29 July 1929, Mercedes Gleitze became the first woman to swim The Wash, completing the crossing on her third attempt. Originally aiming for Hunstanton, she finally came ashore at Heacham after battling treacherous tides for over 13 hours. Heacham was severely affected by the North Sea flood of 1953, when nine people died after the sea broke through. In early 2013, an exhibition of the North Sea Flood was held at St Mary's Church, with contributions from Heacham infant and junior schools and from other villagers.
Norfolk Lavender Ltd was founded in 1932. Linn Chilvers supplied the plants and the labour. Francis Dusgate of Fring Hall provided the land. The first lavender field was planted on Dusgate's land at Fring and in 1936 Dusgate acquired Caley Mill on the River Heacham and the ground around it, not for the building but for the land. Lavender has been grown there ever since. A kiosk was erected from which bunches of lavender were sold to passing pre-war traffic. By 1936 Caley Mill was already disused and no significant repairs were carried out until 1953/4 after the new road (the A149) had been put through cutting the lavender field in half. At that time a new lay-by and kiosk were constructed. Further repairs and restoration work were carried out at the mill in 1977–78 and in the late 1980s. Since the early 1990s it has broadened its range to include other typical English floral fragrances. These are sold at home and abroad.

HEACHAM, NORFOLK
In the absence of any nearby railtours for some time, and being stuck indoors due to a week of heavy rain, I've put together a few scenes from around the village in which I live. Heacham is situated in North-West Norfolk on the side of The Wash, which is a wide tidal inlet from the North Sea. The tides come in fast and quite a few people have had to be rescued by the RNLI hovercraft after walking too far out to the sand banks.
Norfolk Lavender exports products all over the world, and its Caley Mill centre is open to the public. Note the village sign, which features Pocahontas, who married local guy John Rolfe in Virginia in 1614 (not John Smith in the Disney animation!).
The area is very popular for water sports, fishing, bird watching, and vacations.

Hunstanton Beach & Norfolk Lavender | DITL | Abby Indge
Hunstanton Beach, Sea Life aquarium, and Norfolk Lavender. Stu is off on Sunday for 6ish weeks - we think! So we spent the day together being a family, playing on the beach, seeing fish (of course!), eating rock & fish and chips, and then walking round the lavender gardens. It was a lovely day.
I'm Abby, I'm a Mama of two children, and a RAF wife. I love family adventures and so decided to digitally scrapbook some of our time together.
