For those following the Walpoles, Robert married Catherine Mary Bridges in October 1852 at Salthouse (Marriage Banns on Family Search Norfolk Parish Registers online for Salthouse). Catherine's father was George Wilson Bridges who was born in Beeston next Mileham, son of Henry Bridges and Ann Wilson. I know there are people on the Norfolk list who have connection to the Bridges (including myself) of Beeston and earlier ancestors going back to late 1500's in West Lexham.

In the Doomsday Book many of the coastal villages from Caister around the coast and along the Wash edge eg the Walpoles, Holbeach and Fleet in Lincolnshire etc had salt pans where sea water was let in at high tide and then the water allowed to evaporate and then heated -quite a complicated process and you can see about it here if interested http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/catalogue/adsdata/arch-769-1/ahds/dissem ination/pdf/vol38/38_134_163.pdf I have seen what looks like a likely mound of saltern waste at Mautby . I have a dim recollection of reading that the heating the water in tubs used some of the peat from the diggings which created the Norfolk Broads. The fishing industry of course used great quantities of salt to salt down fish, but meat was also salted to last through winter or to preserve the part of the carcase that could not be used immediately. My late grandmother's large earthenware salting pot stands in my house with flowers in it! My father was not over fond of salt pork and bottled runner beans which were used in the winter months when he was a child living at Fence Bank, Walpole St Peter. The butcher in my village still sells salt pork as well as the more usual salt beef.
