Mundesley was a big hit for the Victorians when a new railway opened in 1889 bringing visitors village to sample the sea air. Many who visited said it was the finest air in the country and that people still say that today.
History tells us that Mundesley was previously known as Museleai. The area was one of the many villages that William the Conqueror gave to William de Warenne in gratitude for his allegiance. The Mundesley war memorial is dedicated to sailors and volunteers from the area that cleared the North Sea of mines during the Second World War.
