Sea Palling is on the North Norfolk coast, midway between Cromer and Great Yarmouth. The village is variously known as Sea Palling, Palling and Palling-on-Sea. There is a window dedicated to those who lost their lives in World War 1, and in addition memorials to individuals. Both Sea Palling and Waxham men are commemorated.
