. Easily accessible from the A10, it is also served by its own railway station on the King’s Lynn to Cambridge and London line.
Early evidence of the village appears in the 12th century. Early landowners were the Bardolphs of Wormegay and Stow, the head of this family taking the name Sir Robert de Watlington. The Church, dedicated to St Peter and St Paul, is medieval with Norman origins and is almost entirely built of carrstone. Only the base of the Norman church tower survives. The church was rebuilt in grand style in around 1300. The building was altered in the 15th century and restored by the Victorians.
At the centre of the village is the Angel Field Millennium Green. Opposite it is the The Angel Public House. The village store and post office is close by.
National cycle route 11 passes through the village so has good cycling connections to King’s Lynn and Downham Market.
