Kenninghall is a small village and civil parish in the district of Breckland, in Norfolk, England. It sits in the characteristic Breckland landscape of sandy soils, arable fields and scattered woodland, giving it a rural, low‑density feel while larger market towns and forestry areas are within easy reach.
Historically the village grew around a Tudor manorial complex - notably Kenninghall Palace - once associated with the Howard family, and the streets still show a mix of timber‑framed and Georgian houses centred on a medieval parish church. The local economy is largely agricultural, supported by small businesses, a village pub and community amenities, and residents prize the active social life of fetes, conservation projects and other community events that celebrate its countryside heritage.
