The Henry Blogg Museum celebrates the most decorated lifeboatman in RNLI history, who served for 53 years on Cromer’s lifeboats. With the assistance of his crew, he saved 873 lives from the North Sea. As well as the vintage lifeboat which makes the centerpiece of the museum, there are a lot of activities inside the museum for the kids (brass rubbing, semaphore flags, morse-code generator, embossing, jigsaws, Q&A games) plus lots of factual and historical information for the adults.

There are many stories of the brave lifeboat men who made Cromer famous, far and wide. A bronze bust commemorating Cromer’s most famous lifeboatman, Henry Blogg (coxswain from 1909 to 1947) can be found on the cliff top in North Lodge Park. Cromer Lifeboat MuseumWith his crews of courageous men he saved 873 lives during this time, many during the Second World War. He was recognised for his bravery and awarded the George Cross, three RNLI medals and the British Empire Medal. At the bottom of the Gangway (at the end of the east promenade) you’ll find the Henry Blogg Museum which provides information and artefacts from his days, along with interesting historical facts about the role of the RNLI and its history with Cromer. The legendary HF Bailey lifeboat, Henry Blogg’s lifeboat from 1935-45 forms the centrepiece of the museum. It’s definitely worth a visit. The museum was opened in 2006 by Ronnie Corbett (who started his stage career in Cromer) and offers free admission. The Rocket House Café above the museum has a fine selection of food and beverages, along with a splendid balcony overlooking the beach. A lift provides easy access to both the museum and café, avoiding the rather steep Gangway.

Small but perfectly formed fascinating museum, packed with exhibits, including hands-on activities for children. Come and learn the story of a local hero - Henry Blogg, the longest serving RNLI man who served for more than 50 years, including two world wars. He launched an incredible 387 times, rescuing 873 people! The lifeboat station (on Cromer pier) is also well worth a visit.
