Holverston is a very small, largely rural civil parish in South Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk in England. It lies across the county’s flat arable landscape, with hedgerows, drainage ditches and a scattering of farms and historic farmhouses rather than a defined village centre.
Its roots are medieval, reflected in field patterns and older buildings, and the local economy is still dominated by agriculture, with many residents travelling to nearby towns for services. Quiet lanes, abundant birdlife and a sense of seclusion give the parish a distinctly rural character, with social life often focused in neighbouring villages and community halls.
