Overview

Thornham is an attractive year round venue, popular with walkers, photographers, artists, bird watchers and cyclists who are attracted by the peace and tranquillity of this part of Norfolk.

Thornham Church was started in Norman times, but building came to an abrupt stop in 1348 with the scourge of the Black Death. The tower, started in 1633, was left unfinished after the Great Fire of London in 1666 when the masons departed to rebuild London. It was not to be completed until 1935 when it was built to commemorate King George V’s Silver Jubilee.
