John Crome

I must be the only person in Norfolk who has never heard of him!  So here is an article on John.  Otherwise know as “Old Crome” to distinguish him from his artist son.  He was a founding member of the Norwich School of Painters, which was the first art movement established outside London.  He was a Romantic era artist - but what was the Romantic era?  What did he and John Constable have in common?  He has a Broad named after him and a Heartsease ward.  To find the answers to these questions and more information please select the following link:
