Welcome to Swafield

Swafield is a small village located in the county of Norfolk, England. It is situated approximately 3 miles north of the market town of North Walsham and 5 miles south of the coastal town of Mundesley. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings, including the Grade II listed St. Nicholas Church.

The village of Swafield has a rich history dating back to the Domesday Book of 1086. The name Swafield is believed to have originated from the Old English words "swa" meaning "so" and "feld" meaning "field". The village was once home to a number of farms and agricultural workers, but today it is a quiet residential area with a population of around 200 people.

Despite its small size, Swafield has a strong sense of community and is home to a number of local events throughout the year. These include the annual village fete, which takes place in the summer, and the Christmas lights switch-on, which is a popular event for families. The village also has a small primary school, which serves the local area and is highly regarded by parents and teachers alike.
