Meet Tom: The gentle giant that’s the inspiration for the Hickathrift Press

Written by:

Thomas Hickathrift – known to his friends as Tom – was West Norfolk’s very own superhero

The corner of West Norfolk bordering The Wash is known as Hickathrift Country, on account of the genial giant that once roamed this watery wilderness, righting wrongs and pulling off some enormous practical jokes in the process.

David Phillips was born and bred and fished in Hickathrift Country – inspiration enough to borrow his name for the Hickathrift Press. You can read the full story about Thomas Hickathrift’s adventures now on the About Hickathrift page
