About Thetford
Thetford lies on the Norfolk–Suffolk border at the confluence of the Little Ouse and the Thet, surrounded by the pine plantations of Thetford Forest. It was once the seat of the bishopric of East Anglia and home to a mighty Norman castle, the earthworks of which still rise above the town centre. By the early Middle Ages Thetford had its own mint, twenty churches and a sizeable population. Modern Thetford developed rapidly after the Second World War as one of the London overspill towns, and the resulting mix of medieval flintwork, post-war estates and new-build developments gives the town a varied housing stock. Thetford is also where the BBC's Dad's Army was filmed, and a statue of Captain Mainwaring still sits beside the riverbank. Local properties often need a combination of period repair work and modern improvements.
