Thetford Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the East Anglian county of Norfolk, and roughly equidistant between Cambridge and Norwich, is the town of Thetford.
In Saxon times Thetford was the capital of East Anglia. It had its own mint in the 10th century, and by 1086 the Domesday Survey recorded it as being the sixth largest town in the country with 4,000 to 4,500 people living here.
By the 12th century Thetford had become an important religious centre, with 22 churches around the town, as well as Thetford Priory, founded in 1103. The priory was left to ruin in the 16th century along with the town's religious houses when Henry VIII ordered the Dissolution of the Monasteries. This brought about a decline in the area. However, in the 1570s Thetford received a boost when Elizabeth I granted a town charter leading to redevelopment in the main streets.
In 1819 plans were made to turn Thetford into a spa town for tourists, similar to Bath Cheltenham, Leamington and Harrogate. The meadows between the rivers Thet and Little Ouse contained a spring of mineral rich water. A pump room was constructed, but later closed in 1838.
In 1848 Thetford became a producer of steam engines courtesy of Charles Burrell & Sons Ltd who were based in the town. At its height the factory employed over 350 people, with workers moving in from London, the Midlands and Yorkshire until its closure in 1928.
After the Second World War Thetford became an overspill town, providing housing for those from the cities whose homes had been destroyed in the Blitz, leading to a surge in population during the second half of the 20th century.
During the walk we see two statues. The first appears at the very beginning and is of Duleep Singh, the last Maharaja of the Sikh Empire. He was exiled to Great Britain aged 15 following on from the Anglo Sikh Wars. There he befriended Queen Victoria and bought a country estate close to Thetford in 1863.
The second statue is of Thomas Paine. Born in Thetford, Paine was a political writer who travelled to Philadelpia in 1774 with a letter of introduction from Benjamin Franklin. In 1776 he wrote a pamphlet arguing the case for American independence, predating the Declaration of Independence itself. Later on, Paine travelled to France where he advocated for the French Revolution. He is also believed to have met Napoleon Bonaparte in the late 1790s to discuss a potential invasion of England. So basically turning up everywhere of historical significance, like an 18th century Forrest Gump. Napoleon allegedly stated that a statue of gold should be erected to [Thomas Paine] in every city in the universe. The statue we see is made of bronze and dates back to 1964 where it was initially gilded. Having lost its golden appearance, it was then re-gilded in November of 2020, making it quite hard to miss!

Thetford Town Centre June 2018
Thetford is a market town and civil parish in the Breckland district of Norfolk, England. Thetford is on the A11 road between Norwich and London, just south of Thetford Forest. After World War II Thetford became an ‘overspill town’ taking people from London, as a result of which its population increased substantially.
The Ancient House Museum, situated on White Hart Street, is an oak-framed Tudor merchant's house. The museum holds replicas of the Thetford Treasure and has displays about flint knapping, rabbit warreners and wildlife in the brecks. You can also find out more about Thomas Paine and the Maharajah Duleep Singh. The Ancient House was gifted to the town by Prince Frederick Duleep Singh. The surrounding Breckland has been largely replaced by the Thetford Forest, though Thetford Chase remains.
Thetford is just off the A11 road between Norwich (28 miles (45 km)) and London (86 miles (138 km)). The A11 previously ran through the town but a bypass was constructed in the 1990s. It is served by Thetford railway station, with Abellio Greater Anglia running services between Norwich and Cambridge, and East Midlands Trains from Norwich to Liverpool Lime Street (via Nottingham, Sheffield and Manchester Piccadilly). From Cambridge, regular services run to London King's Cross.
The Iceni were a Celtic tribe living in Norfolk and parts of Cambridgeshire. Archaeological evidence suggests that Thetford was an important tribal centre during the late Iron Age and early Roman period. A ceremonial 'grove' was uncovered there during excavations. In 1979, a hoard of Romano-British metalwork, known as the Thetford treasure was located just outside Thetford.
Thetford is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the town of Thetford .

The Brecks and Thetford Forest, Norfolk, UK
The Brecks and Thetford Forest are nature's playground, with the country's largest lowland pine forest to explore by foot or two wheels. Discover Pingos and Deal Rows and relax in the UK's best climate!
The Priory of Our Lady of Thetford, Norfolk, UK
Another accidental find on my Covid-19 forced tour of the UK but also another gem.
I had not researched the site and was genuinely surprised at bot how big it was and the detail preserved. If this had been a London site all that would have been left would be a plaque beside one of the collapsed columns.
Well worth a visit especially if you can research some of the details before your visit.
