Somewhere in North Norfolk

Elizabeth Fry was born in Norwich which I didn't know before this thread.

Loads of famous people were born near here or went to school/university here but I can't find many actually born in Norwich.

Hugh Jackman's mum lives here apparently and he claims his favourite pub is in Norwich.
