Dereham Walk: Town Centre【4K】

Located in the county of Norfolk, and around 15 miles west of Norwich, is the town of Dereham. The town's name is derived from Old English for 'deer enclosure', or 'wild animal enclosure'. It is claimed to have been founded in 654 AD by St Withburga, who built a church and a nunnery here. However, the first recorded reference to a settlement here only dates back to the late 8th century, when the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle mentions 'Deorham'. The wooden buildings of the nunnery are said to have been burnt down by the Vikings in circa 870 AD. On the site of what is believed to have been the 7th century nunnery is the Church of St Nicholas. This predates the Norman Conquest, although the oldest visible features are 12th century in origin with additions up until circa 1500 AD. The church is Grade I listed. It also features a rare example of an English bell tower detached from the main body of the church. The bell tower dates from the 16th century, and its construction was due to the tower of the church itself being too weak to carry the weight of the bells. Just outside the church are Bishop Bonner's Cottages (seen around the 16-minute mark). These date back to 1502, and are likely the only domestic buildings to have survived two great fires in the town - one in 1581 and another in 1679. As a result of these fires, much of the town's architecture is Georgian. In 1847 a railway station opened in Dereham courtesy of the Lynn and Dereham Railway. This was the eastern terminus of a branch line connecting to King's Lynn. This became a junction station from 1848 as the Norfolk Railway linked it up to Norwich, Fakenham and other destinations. The station closed to passengers in 1969. However, it was reopened in 1997 as a heritage railway station. Today, it serves as the northern terminus of the Mid-Norfolk Railway, with Wymondham Abbey being the southern terminus, running during special events. Regular public transport consists of direct buses from Norwich, King's Lynn and various other nearby locations. 👇 SUBSCRIBE TO 4K EXPLORER FOR NEW VIDEOS EVERY WEEK 👇 https://www.youtube.com/4KExplorer?su...
