Toft Monks is a small village and civil parish in South Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. It sits in a low-lying, agricultural landscape close to the Suffolk border and within reasonable reach of the county city of Norwich, so it combines a quietly rural character with commuter links to larger centres.
The village name hints at medieval origins - "toft" meaning a homestead and "monks" suggesting former monastic ownership - and several period buildings and a parish church reflect that history. The local economy remains largely farming-based, supplemented by residents who commute, and the community is small and close-knit with the sort of village events and conservation interests typical of rural Norfolk.
