Better known as the ancestral home of Sir Thomas Gresham – of grasshopper fame – and boasting a farm allegedly once belonging to Geoffrey Chaucer’s son before being sold to Sir William Paston, Gresham lies five miles south-west of Cromer and is neighboured by the villages of East Beckham and Aylmerton to the north, Bessingham and Sustead to the south – places holding long associations with the name of Gotts.
George 237 was a mastor tailor. He married Emma/Amy 254 Long in Aylsham in 1813. Their son Alfred Woodhouse 255 Gotts was born in 1827 and was also a master tailor in Aldeborough for many years. He married Martha Bell in 1858 but we have not seen any family.
George and Amy's daughter Harriett 977 married Robert Warner.
