Tasburgh (pronounced taze-bruh) is a civil parish and a village in the south of Norfolk, England. The River Tas flows nearby and Tasburgh Hall lies to the west of the village. The local church is dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin.
Lower Tasburgh village is located nearby to the northwest.
[edit] History
A large hill fort (Ad Taum) abuts the village at the northwest, and the village church is built within it. This probably dates back to the Iron Age, but may be a remnant of the Danish invasion of the ninth century.
Tasburgh church was probably built around 1050 and is a traditional Norfolk Saxon church of flint with a round tower.
