When and why

Today we go back to the beginning.
In this add from 21 July 1821 Jerome Nicholas Vlieland says he is back from Paris and back in Yarmouth.
We know therefore he has been in England before .
Probably in 1820.
Did he go to his family in Holland?
Or did he go to France as he says in the newspaper?
At that time he was 24 years of age.
Time to settle and get married.
Which he did in 1824.
The story is that he was the teacher of Sarah and they fell in love and eloped.
And were allowed to marry.


So when was the first time J.N. came to England as a professor?
In 1820 there are no adds in the newspapers by Jerome or we have not found them yet.
Not in the Dutch newspapers either .
No house sales, no passengers list.
So where did he went when he returned to Paris.
Did he go to visite his mother at that time or were his mother, sister and brother there with him?
His mother was allready 64 by then.
We know he likes his adds, as there are many in later years in different newspapers, but could the adds below of 1820 has something to do with his first years.



So to all happy hunting and if you find something ...........please let us know.

Hemblington church and hall

The church where Jerome and Sarah were married ,


And the interior.

An elegant Georgian building unfortunately rather spoilt by the ruined adjacent farm buildings.

The Saxon/Norman church where the Heath family lived for a hundred or so years and where Bishop Blomfield Anna Maria Heath married the sister of Sarah Heath (wife of Jerome) was lovely. It is solitary on high ground in the Parish of Hemblington which (since 1925) consists of that and nearby Blofield Heath (where Sarah's ancestor came from). It has a beautiful font covered in painted figures and a wall painting (the best in the country depicting St Christopher's life. The hall is large and now contains large totally separate dwellings.



Hemblington parish is a small settlement just east of the city of Norwich and north of the main A47 road between Norwich & Great Yarmouth. The parish is sparesly settled with just a straggle of farm-houses with no real centre.

All Saints church sits beside a lane just north of Hemblington Hall, it is an interesting example of a round-tower church, usually indicative of an early date. At some time the tower was probably higher and this has fallen or become dangerous as a somewhat hidden conical top now caps the tower. Despite the round-tower most of the church dates from the early 14th Century.
