Cringleford
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cringleford is a village in Norfolk, England on the outskirts of the city of Norwich. The village is in the South Norfolk local government district but the Norwich South Parliamentary constituency. The M.P. is Charles Clarke of the Labour Party.
A village existed here at least as early as Saxon times and there is evidence of human settlement in the area from the Roman era and the Bronze age.
The population of the village at the time of the 2001 UK census was 2076. However, the population is likely to increase over the coming years as the process of suburbanisation is taking place. Increased development in the area in the form of new houses and improved transport links, such as the Norwich South Bypass has resulted in increased activity in the area. With the city of Norwich nearby the village has become and ideal spot for commuters to reside.
