Norfolk is rich in hamlets so tiny and tucked away they are hardly known, even within their own county - although some of their sons and daughters had an impact on world history.
1. DIDLINGTON
Did you know that Didlington, between Thetford and Swaffham, played a vital role in the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb? It was at Didlington Hall that a boy called Howard Carter developed the love of Egyptology which eventually led him to the Valley of the Kings and becoming the first person to see Tut’s treasures in more than 3,000 years.
