Welcome to Methwold

Methwold is a small village located in the county of Norfolk, England. It is situated on the edge of the Fens, which is a flat, low-lying area of land that is prone to flooding. The village has a long history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Bronze Age. Today, Methwold is a quiet and peaceful place, with a population of around 1,000 people.

One of the most notable features of Methwold is its church, which is dedicated to St. George. The church dates back to the 14th century and is a Grade I listed building. It is known for its impressive tower, which stands at over 100 feet tall and can be seen from miles around. Inside the church, visitors can see a number of interesting features, including a medieval font, a 15th-century rood screen, and a collection of brasses.

Another interesting feature of Methwold is its connection to the RAF. During World War II, the village was home to an airfield that was used by the RAF for training purposes. Today, the airfield is no longer in use, but visitors can still see some of the original buildings, including the control tower and a number of hangars. The airfield is also home to a museum, which tells the story of the RAF's presence in Methwold during the war.
