Great Hockham is a village in the English county of Norfolk within the civil parish of Hockham , though the distinction between village and parish may now be moot as there is evidence to suggest that the other village in the parish, Little Hockham, consists only of a farmhouse.[1]
The village lies 8 miles (13 km) north east of Thetford and 24 miles (39 km) by road south west from Norwich.
It is served by Holy Trinity church[2] in the Benefice of Wayland Group.[3]
Notable residents
- The crime novelist Christopher Bush (1885-1973), who also wrote six novels about Breckland life under the pen name Michael Home, was born in Great Hockham.[4]
