Wortwell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wortwell is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk and adjoining the county of Suffolk. It is located on both the River Waveney (which forms the county boundary) and the A143 road, some 20 km east of Diss and 30 km west of Lowestoft. The city of Norwich lies approximately 30 km to the north.
The civil parish has an area of 4.6 km² and in the 2001 census had a population of 574 in 243 households. For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of South Norfolk.
Interestingly, the village of Wortwell is one of the few in Norfolk not to be listed in the Domesday Book. Until the end of the 19th century Wortwell was a hamlet within the parish of Mendham-in-Norfolk, becoming a parish in the 1885 boundary alterations.
