Crome is an electoral ward within Norwich in Norfolk, England, occupying a largely residential part of the city with a mix of Victorian terraces, post‑war housing and pockets of green space. It’s close enough to the city centre to benefit from shops, bus routes and the wider cultural life of Norwich, while retaining local amenities such as community centres, schools and small parades of shops.
Named after the landscape painter John Crome of the Norwich School, the ward’s character blends urban history with everyday community life; its economy is mainly local services and small businesses, and neighbourhood groups, churches and schools play a big role in civic activity. The area reflects the broader social and industrial development of Norwich and Norfolk, making it a typical example of an inner suburban ward in the city.
