Brockdish Conservation Area Character Appraisal Introduction The historic village of Brockdish is situated along the north side of the floodplain of the River Waveney. A predominantly linear settlement, the centre of the village is at the crossroads along the old Harleston to Diss Road, with Syleham Road leading south to the bridging point at Syleham Mills and Grove Road leading north. The settlement lies 2 ½ miles W.S.W of Harleston, and 5 East of Diss, and is one of a string of similar settlements on the north side of the Waveney between Beccles and Diss. The construction of the new A143 in 1996 to the north, which now bypasses the village, has significantly reduced traffic flow and has once again made Brockdish a quiet rural village. Perhaps partly due to the difficulty of building on land around the village because of the floodplain to the south and rising land on the north side, the bulk of C20 development has been built in a separate detached part of the settlement to the west. The new settlement area is closer to the parish church of St Peter and St Paul, which is a mile west of the historic settlement.

  • World War 2 Trail
    WW2 Trail During World War 2 the Waveney Valley was home to a number of US Servicemen, who made up the ‘Friendly Invasion’. The invaders were thousands of young Americans, part of the United States Army Air Force’s vast contribution 1 to the Allies’ strategic bombing offensive being waged against Nazi-occupied Europe. There were up to 50,000 US personnel stationed here and in 3 2 the surrounding area at any one time. By 1944, Norfolk echoed to the roar of B24 Liberators and B17 Flying Fortresses as huge aerial armadas took to the skies from a countryside so freckled with bomber bases that it became known as ‘Little America’. Learn more about our rich wartime heritage in this WW2 Trail. 1 Seething Control Tower Seething Control Tower Museum is a restored World War II air traffic control tower, located at Seething Airfield in South Norfolk, England. It serves as a memorial to those who served at this airfield from 1943 to 1945. The Museum is housed in the restored Control Tower of the former RAF Seething, formally the home to the 448th Bomb Group of the United States Air Force and was given the identification Station 146. The museum stands guard over the entrance to Seething Airfield, a popular general aviation airfield which is owned and operated by its own flying club. Seething Control Tower Museum is approximately 9 miles south east of Norwich. There is ample free parking for bikes, cars and coaches. Opening Times: the first Sunday of the month, May to October from 10am.

  • USAAF AIRFIELDS Guide and Map Introduction
    USAAF AIRFIELDS Guide and Map Introduction During the Second World War, the East of England became home to hundreds of US airmen. They began arriving in 1942, with many existing RAF (Royal Air Force) airfields made available to the USAAF (United States Army Air Force). By 1943 there were over 100,000 US airmen based in Britain. The largest concentration was in the East of England, where most of the 8th Air Force and some of the 9th were located on near a hundred bases. The 8th Air Force was the largest air striking force ever committed to battle, with the first units arriving in May 1942. The 9th Air Force was re-formed in England in October 1943 - it was the operator of the most formidable troop-carrying force ever assembled. Their arrival had an immediate impact on the East Anglian scene. This was the 'friendly invasion' - a time of jitterbugging dances and big band sounds, while the British got their first taste of peanut butter, chewing gum and Coke. Famous US bandleader Glenn Miller was based in the Bedford area (Bedfordshire), along with his orchestra during the Second World War. Close associations with residents of the region produced long lasting friendships, sometimes even marriage. At The Eagle pub in Cambridge (Cambridgeshire), and The Swan Hotel at Lavenham (Suffolk), airmen left their signatures on the ceiling/walls. The aircraft of the USAAF were the B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator - used by the Bombardment Groups (BG); and the P-51 Mustang, P-38 Lightning and P-47 Thunderbolt - used by the Fighter Groups (FG).

  • The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, Brockdish
    The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, Brockdish. SOME LANDMARKS IN THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH Our church is not a large church, nor particularly grand. It was renewed and restored in Victorian times and has sometimes been the object of sniffy architectural snobbery by 20th century writers who preferred older, medieval churches. Or it was ignored completely by authors singing the splendours of a county overflowing with glorious churches. Possibly this is because our church has always been off the beaten track, standing remote from the main village down a country lane. But it is the oldest building in the village, at least nine hundred years old and has a wealth of interesting details from across the centuries. The medieval church was restored and renovated in Gothic revival style in the mid-19th century by the remarkable Rector, Reverend George France, whose ambitious commitment to beautify the building leaves a legacy now much prized by experts in Victorian architecture and decoration. The Parish Church of Saint Peter and St Paul, Brockdish, Norfolk Adherence to the formal worship of Christianity has waxed and waned over the centuries and from the time of the Reformation in the mid-16th century, the people of Norfolk have been divided in their attachment to the established church. What we see today is a building that reflects the changes in religious observance and faith but is still a fundamental part of 1 our village identity, even when there aren’t often many people in it! The parish church belongs to all of us, including those who stop by out of curiosity and we hope this little guide will illustrate how a small medieval church became a splendid Victorian one.

These communities mostly look to Harleston as their market town; however, Scole and Billingford are much closer to Diss and therefore look in that direction. The benefice is recently formed from the Scole and the Redenhall benefices. There are 6 ecclesiastical parishes in the benefice, each distinct but with good relationships with the others. Geographically, from East to West the parishes are listed below: • Redenhall with Harleston and Wortwell (population fast approaching 5,000): Harleston is a rapidly expanding and vibrant market town which is very much the main settlement in the parish.

  • 83: South Norfolk and High Suffolk Claylands Area Profile: Supporting Documents
    National Character 83: South Norfolk and High Suffolk Claylands Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 83: South Norfolk and High Suffolk Claylands Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.
