Welcome to Weeting
Weeting-with-Broomhill is an English civil parish within the district of Breckland and the county of Norfolk
Surrounded on three sides by the Thetford Forest Park, Weeting is a village in the Breckland District of Norfolk, though geographically close to the border with Suffolk. The current population is about 2,000. To the South and West of the Village is the well-known nature reserve of Weeting Heath, a significant nesting site for one of Britain’s most endangered birds, the Stone Curlew. Weeting Village dates back to Saxon times. It is mentioned in the Doomsday Book as “Wetynge” (wet fields), and contains the Norman ruins of a fortified Manor House built by one of William the Conqueror’s sons-in-law, William de Warrenne. This is an English Heritage site, known as Weeting Castle. The parish Church of St. Mary’s is one of the 185 “Round Tower” Churches in the UK, and regularly attracts visitors from the Round Tower Churches Society. Whilst Weeting’s round tower is a nineteenth century restoration, it is a reminder of the village’s Saxon roots.
