The two adjacent villages of Tivetshall St. Mary and Tivetshall St. Margaret sit in the rural landscape of South Norfolk, Norfolk, England, a short drive from the city of Norwich and within easy reach of market towns such as Diss and Harleston. They occupy classic Norfolk countryside of arable fields, hedgerows and quiet lanes and sustain a largely agricultural economy alongside small local services and residents who commute to nearby towns.
Historically each village grew up around its parish church - which gives them their names - and both retain a strong village feel with traditional flint and brick buildings, a village hall and active community groups. Their medieval heritage and rural character make them appealing to walkers and those seeking a quieter country lifestyle, while local social life tends to centre on parish activities, occasional events and the close-knit networks typical of small Norfolk villages.
