Commander Oliver Locker-Lampson MP offered Einstein a refuge in Norfolk before he travelled to the United States. While here, he was sculpted by Jacob Epstein.[3] A blue plaque commemorating Einstein's stay can be found at the entrance of the New Inn public house in the village.[4] On 7 October 1933, he set sail from Southampton for a new life in the United States and never returned to Europe.[6] Einstein’s visit inspired several works, including Mark Burgess’s radio play Einstein in Cromer, Philip Glass’s opera Einstein on the Beach, and a song of the same name by Counting Crows.[5] Disappearance of April FabbThe schoolgirl April Fabb was cycling from Metton to visit her sister in Roughton when she disappeared without trace on 8 April 1969.[6] Public transportThe nearest railway station is at Roughton Road for the Bittern Line, which runs between Sheringham, Cromer, and Norwich.
