Folklore lives in the space between history and imagination. Strange stories tied to real places, passed from person to person until the line between memory, myth and warning starts to blur.

Growing up in the Norfolk countryside, I would occasionally hear stories about the strange and unexplained. Shadowed woods, cursed landmarks, abandoned windmills and ghostly screams drifting through the air at midnight.

Norfolk-Lore is a personal illustration series exploring the eerie and often overlooked folklore of Norfolk. The project reimagines these strange corners of the county’s past and brings them to life through a series of bold illustrations.
