This is the village that gave worsted cloth its name. Flemish weavers settled here in the Middle Ages, and the trade in their fine wool cloth paid for St Mary’s, a tall 14th-century church begun in the 1370s, with memorial brasses to some of the weavers inside. Open access, and handy for the train — Worstead station is under a kilometre south-west.
