More about this scene
St Cuthbert's is a medieval church that was entirely rebuilt after its tower fell in 1851. On the right is the 1884 post office; its decorative detailing recalls the ancient East Anglian tradition of pargetting. Thetford enjoyed a high standing a millennium ago – in the 11th century it was the seat of the East Anglian bishopric. However, unlike the more northerly Norfolk towns, it never grew into a major agricultural centre – the soils here are poor.
