Home > Thetford


Thetford is a town in the Breckland area of Norfolk, England. In the Anglo-Saxon period, it was the home of the monarchs of East Anglia and was seat of a bishopric.

Much later, the town was the birthplace of Thomas Paine. Today, the surrounding heathland has been largely replaced by the Thetford Forest , through which one had to travel to journey to London and which was renowned for highwaymen.

Thetford is on the A11 road between Norwich and London and has a train station, served by one (railway), again between Norwich and London — in this case Liverpool Street station.
