 Norfolk Thatched House by River Yare Norfolk Broads UK
By John's time, the wherries were motorised and perhaps less stately, the fl sails having long been discarded firstly to compete with the railways which had nevertheless already taken much of their business but also to manage the menial tasks to which they had been relegated, like the removal of dredging spoil.
But John spent much of his time on the river, working with wherries such as the Maud which, like many of the old wooden boats at the end of their days, was eventually sunk to form river bank reinforcement.
He had spent many a long day with her, standing in the stern at the tiller without cover in all weathers, chugging slowly down the Yare to Yarmouth or going up the Bure or even threading up its tributaries into the broads of that northern system.

The interminable and largely insoluble disputes with the Cinque Ports and Lowestoft were fairly typical manifestations in a medieval town seeking to define and expand its authority.
During that period the population of Yarmouth expanded considerably; we hear from chroniclers that 2,000 inhabitants died during floods in 1286, and 7,000 died in the Black Death, although these figures must be taken with a pinch of salt – the town's population in the early fourteenth century was more likely around 5,000.
