Paston is a small village in North Norfolk, Norfolk, England, set a short distance inland from the North Norfolk coast amid gently rolling arable countryside and hedgerow-lined lanes. It has the quiet feel of a traditional Norfolk village, with a parish church and scattered farmsteads, while larger towns and Norwich are within reach for shopping and work, so some residents commute beyond the parish.
Historically the village is best known for the influential Paston family and their 15th-century Paston Letters, which provide a rare, vivid record of medieval domestic, legal and social life. Today the local economy remains largely agricultural, with a dose of heritage interest and light tourism from visitors exploring the county's coastline and history.
