Felbrigg

Felbrigg is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk.

Felbrigg is located 1.7 miles (2.7 km) south-west of Cromer and 20 miles (32 km) north of Norwich.

Felbrigg's name is of Viking origin and derives from the Old Norse for a plank bridge.

Felbrigg parish has been the site of the discovery of several Roman artefacts including pottery, coins, brooches and a figurine of Priapus. Despite this, no conclusive evidence of a Roman settlement has been identified.

In the Domesday Book, Felbrigg is listed as a settlement of 6 households in the hundred of North Erpingham. In 1086, the village formed part of the East Anglian estates of Roger Bigod.

According to the 2021 census, Felbrigg has a population of 201 people which shows an increase from the 193 people recorded in the 2011 census.

Felbrigg sits along the B1436, between Cromer and Thorpe Market.

Felbrigg Woods is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is mainly within the grounds and estate of Felbrigg Hall. The woods mainly consist of common beech trees, with many rare species of lichen.
