Elsing, Norfolk

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A small village near Dereham, Elsing was once a market town, but over the years it has diminished to its current quiet state. The village is reputed to be named for a Saxon chief named Elesa. The moated manor house in Elsing was built by the Hastings family around the year 1470. The parish church of St Mary was built around 1347, just before the onset of the Black Death. It features a font that was exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1861, with its elaborately painted and gilded font cover. The pride of St Mary's however, is the beautiful memorial brass of Sir Hugh Hastings (d. 1347). Nearby is Elsing Mill, a a restored windmill
