With roots that go back beyond the Doomsday Book, where it is listed as Wdetuna meaning settlement near the woods, the village of North Wootton lies approximately four miles from the centre of the historic town of Kings Lynn. Bordering the North Norfolk coastal Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the Royal Estate of Sandringham, the population of approximately 2,400 occupy around 1,000 homes including a mixture of traditional carrstone houses plus some newer developments. It is fortunate to have a community primary school, a public house, a church and a thriving Village Hall within the village, and in bordering South Wootton, a Post Office, pharmacy, a doctor’s surgery, a veterinary practice and small supermarket. North and its bigger neighbour South Wootton share the use of Wootton Park which sits between the two villages providing valuable sports and recreational opportunities.
