Bunwell

Bunwell is a parish (population 885ref|population) situated in the county of Norfolk, England, approximately 7 miles south-east of Attleborough. The parish includes the hamlets of Bunwell Hill, Bunwell Street, Great Green, Little Green and Low Common. Often overlooked as visitors head for quaint New Buckenham, this oddly widespread community is centred on a church, primary school, village hall and homes of mixed heritage - although some clearly date from Shakespearean times. Most residents commute to the city of Norwich or town of Diss.

3 members of the popular band 'Mona McNee's Love Children', who played around Norwich in the 90's, came from the village. The reacration ground used to have a impressive slide until one lad fell from the top and complaints led to it being removed.The recreation ground is home to Bunwell FC,winners of the South Norfolk league division 3 in 2008, during the winter months and Bunwell CC in the summer.
