Thurgarton (Norfolk)

Thurgarton (Norfolk)

Thurgarton is a village and civil parish in the North Norfolk district of the English county of Norfolk. It lies 6½ miles north of Aylsham and 5½ miles south-west of Cromer, and is in the Erpingham Hundred.

The church, All Saints', has a thatched roof but no tower - the tower having collapsed in the 1880s.

Thurgarton House (sometimes called Thurgarton Old Hall) is the seat of the Spurrell family, who have lived at Thurgarton for almost 500 years.

In 1969, poet George Barker, who lived at nearby Itteringham, published a poem called "At Thurgarton Church".
