Horning

Horning is a picturesque waterside broadland village and if you only visit one Broadland village, then Horning has to be that one. The village lines the northern bank of the River Bure, stretching for about a mile, and has many waterside properties (best viewed from a boat). There are waterside pubs, shops, restaurant, tea-rooms, boat trips and other attractions to enjoy. Horning Ferry is on the outskirts of the village, about a mile along Lower Street. It is well worth a walk on a fine day and there is a marina, leisure club and the Ferry Inn. The church of Horning is another mile walk along country lanes, but you are rewarded by a fine church and a path leading to views of the River Bure.

The Name Horning Means "The Folk who live on the high ground between the Rivers"

In 1020 AD the Manor was given by King Canute to the Abbey of St.Benet at Hulme and the Bishop of Norwich as Abbot of St.Benets is still Lord of the Manor.

The Parish Extends along the North bank of the River Bure to Thurne Mouth and Includes the Ruins of the Abbey & St.James Hospital, also the 13th Century Church of St.Benedict.
