North Norfolk (UK Parliament constituency)

The seat covers a long stretch of the Norfolk coast including the seaside towns of Cromer, Wells-next-the-Sea and Sheringham.

The North Division of Norfolk was first created by the Reform Act 1867 as one of three two-member divisions of the Parliamentary County of Norfolk. Under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, the three two-member county divisions were replaced with six single-member divisions. The second version of this constituency was one of the single-member seats. It has remained as a single-member seat since then, being designated as a County Constituency from the 1950 general election.

Formerly held by Labour from 1945 to 1970, then the Conservatives from 1970 to 2001, the seat was represented by the Liberal Democrat Norman Lamb from 2001 until he stood down for the 2019 general election, when the Conservatives regained the seat from the Lib Dems with a swing of 17.5%. However the Lib Dems re-took the seat at the following general election in 2024 with a swing of 16.8%.

The 2001 general election marked the first time that a Liberal aligned candidate had won a seat in Norfolk since 1929. This was to be followed by the election of Simon Wright in Norwich South in 2010. While Wright's success was short-lived (he was defeated in 2015), Lamb retained his seat, which at the 2015 election was one of only two Liberal Democrat seats in southern England, and one of only eight in the whole UK. At the 2017 general election, in which the Liberal Democrats lost five of their nine seats, North Norfolk was one of the four held. Although the seat had been held by Labour for the 25 years following World War II, Labour have slumped to a distant third in recent years, and came fourth in 2015, and last in a narrower field of three candidates in 2017.

North Norfolk was described by the Earl of Leicester as "the one constituency in England where, in 1964, it was so feudal that it had to be explained to the electors that the ballot was secret."{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/bert-hazell-trade-union-leader-and-labour-mp-who-championed-the-cause-of-agricultural-workers-1452239.html |title=Bert Hazell: Trade union leader and Labour MP who championed the cause of agricultural workers |first=Tam |last=Dalyell |author-link=Tam Dalyell |date=21 January 2009 |newspaper=The Independent |location=London |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090225065133/http://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/bert-hazell-trade-union-leader-and-labour-mp-who-championed-the-cause-of-agricultural-workers-1452239.html |archive-date=25 February 2009 |url-status=dead |access-date=2009-01-22}} Feudal is used as a metaphor, or shorthand, meaning constitutionally backward.
