The Romany Rye. These licensed premises were purpose-built as a hotel, in 1965, and are named after the novel by George Borrow, who was born on the outskirts of East Dereham, in 1803. 'One of the most imaginative prose writers of the 19th century', his world-wide travels provided the inspiration for his best boooks such as Romany Rye, written in 1857. These premises were refurbished by J D Wetherspoon and re-opened in April 2011.
