Shelfanger is a small village and civil parish in South Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. It sits amid typical East Anglian arable countryside, with a scatter of cottages and farmsteads rather than a tightly built centre, and is within reasonable reach of larger market towns such as Diss and the regional centre of Norwich.
Historically shaped by agriculture, the village retains a quiet rural character with vernacular buildings and a small, close-knit community. Local life tends to revolve around parish amenities and occasional village events, while economically many residents combine farming or local trades with commuting to nearby towns. The setting, modest historic fabric and sense of community give Shelfanger a distinctly Norfolk village feel.
