Old Costessey is the older nucleus of the town of Costessey in the district of South Norfolk, county of Norfolk, England, lying just to the west of Norwich. It retains a village feel, with historic buildings clustered around St Edmund's Church and the earthworks and memories of the once-grand Costessey Hall estate giving a sense of layered history.
Today the area is a mix of long-standing residents and commuters into Norwich, with local shops, pubs, a school and community groups. Pleasant patches of open countryside, parks and footpaths make it popular with families and walkers, and a steady programme of village events and clubs keeps a strong local identity.
