HIGHFIELD HOUSE: THE VILLAGE
GREAT SNORING IS ONE OF
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VILLAGES IN THE AREA. THE EXTRAORDINARILY CALM
ATMOSPHERE WILL APPEAL TO THOSE SEEKING REST AND RELAXATION IN THE MIDDLE OF
BEAUTIFUL SCENERY
Contrary to what you might expect, Great Snoring is smaller than its sister Little Snoring. Our village has pretty houses of flint and brick along each side of the narrow main street. The origin of the names is Saxon; in the Domesday Book it is recorded as Snarringes, the home of the family and descendants of someone named Snear.
As well as being near to the coast, Great Snoring lies just north of Fakenham, with its famed Thursday market.
Interesting places nearby include the Thursford Collection and the medieval village of Little Walsingham whose long history of pilgrimage is eloquently recalled in ancient buildings and evocative ruins.
