Memorial & Dedication Benches
The removal and replacement of the benches that Sheringham Town Council own around the town and commons is now complete. The ‘Man-made-timber’ benches are made from Enviropol material which is recycled plastic that is 100% re-recyclable when it reaches the end of its service life and each bench is made up of a combination of carrier bags, pots, tubs and trays, a large majority of which are single-use plastics. STC are proud to have played a part in reducing the amount of plastic that could have gone into our oceans and will continue to look for ways to reduce single use plastic whenever we can.
STC understands and respects the wishes of its residents to remember loved ones through a variety of memorials. If you are interested in dedicating a bench and would like to know more, please get in touch or fill out an application form.

Our Town Clock & Town Crest
THE CLOCK TOWER
Now that some critical electric works in the roof space have been completed, the Clock Tower is in full working order. Over the next few months, we will also be giving the Tower some much deserved attention which will include works to the roof, roof slats, guttering and we will be painting the inside too.
THE TOWN CREST
Located in the town centre on Station Road in front of the Post Office, the wooden crest was commissioned by the Chamber of Trade to be made and installed in 1977. STC now own the structure and will be looking to complete some restoration works on it as soon as we can. It will be cleaned, repaired and restored back to its former glory.
