Alethorpe

About

Alethorpe is a deserted medieval village site and former civil parish, now in the parish of Little Snoring, in the North Norfolk district, in the county of Norfolk, England. It is south-east of Little Snoring, around 2 miles (3.2 km) north-east of the town of Fakenham and 23 miles (37 km) north-west of Norwich, to the north of the A148 road. The village, which is one of around 200 lost settlements in Norfolk, was abandoned in the 16th century, probably as a consequence of the land being enclosed by the landlord at that time.

It is occasionally referred to as Althorp in historical literature. In 1931, the parish had a population of one.
