New Buckenham is a small rural parish in the Breckland district of Norfolk, England, set in open arable countryside not far from market towns such as Attleborough and Norwich. The village is notable for its remarkably intact medieval layout: a broad circular village green edged by historic houses and the earthworks of a motte-and-bailey castle, giving it an unusually picturesque, conservation-led character.
Life in New Buckenham still feels village-centred, with agriculture forming much of the local economy and residents often commuting to nearby towns for work. The green and surrounding streets host community events and the built heritage - timber-framed and listed buildings alongside the church and castle mound - draws visitors interested in Norfolkâs medieval and rural history.
