Upon a Suffolk shore, long-established dunes, the presence of brackish runs betrayed by the reeds and sedge, there is what I’d call a mighty dune slack known locally as Crazy Mary’s Hole.
And anyone who’s seen it with the Purple Glasswort in full colour, and anyone with a mind that works like a long-at-sea herring-fleet fisher, will know exactly why.
But it has to be seen from above and afar – from atop the cliffs that edge this shore. For Crazy Mary’s Hole isn’t a small affair, but in its proper season it stretches – all windy-windy – proper anfractuous.

But why is it called that, Crispina?

Well, it could just be because it’s a waterhole. On the other hand, it could be exceedingly vulgar. One must see it when in full colour to realise what’s meant. (Or maybe that’s just my vile imagination!)

was there someone named crazy Mary?

I don’t know. All I can suggest is that the play is on the name of Mary, mother of all life, which is an old East Anglian word for the female “part” that delivers new life.
Oh how delicately I have put it!
