Draft talk:Ernest Suffling

Page started

Hello, I have made a start on a Page for ER Suffling - there is much more to add, but this is a start! Purplejumper (talk) 21:23, 30 September 2026 (UTC)

His writing is still referenced today (book of happisburgh, EDP articles on coastal erosion and folklore) and theses will be referenced at some point) Purplejumper (talk) 15:11, 13 October 2026 (UTC)

References

Thank you to Dan arndt for suggestions of where to find better references - I will look for these over the comings days Purplejumper (talk) 13:26, 6 October 2026 (UTC)

this looks like it might be useful - https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ocFSAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA3&dq=Ernest+Suffling&article_id=4223,875585&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjv6OizmreXAxXSXUEAHcvDD3YQuwV6BAgLEAc#v=onepage&q=Ernest%20Suffling&f=false Purplejumper (talk) 14:35, 13 October 2026 (UTC)

His obituary will be useful - it appears in a few papers on the 2nd and 3rd Feb 1911 - and that he popularised the norfolk and suffolk broads as a tourist destination - all are behind a paywall. Also details of his will. He was buried in happisburgh churchyard (ref find a grave)

This gives a bio https://sussexparishchurches.org/architectsandartistss/

and this discusses one of his fiction works - Eleanor Dobson's Victorian Alchemy.

Once I get round to accessing the behind the paywall stuff, I think there might be jsut enough to meet the criteria. Purplejumper (talk) 07:44, 15 October 2026 (UTC)
