Human settlement in England
Alpington is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk . It is situated about six miles (10 km ) south-east of Norwich and is closely associated with Yelverton just to the north.
There is some confusion over Alpington's entries in the Domesday Book. Two entries call the village 'Appletuna' or 'Appletona', Old English for 'apple tree farm'. However, two further entries use the names 'Algamundestuna' and 'Alcmuntona', Old English for 'Ahlmund's enclosure'. These may relate to Alpington or to an unknown settlement close by.[1]
Ekwall suggests that it is "not impossible" that Apton, formerly part of the adjacent parish of Bergh Apton, is a reduced form of Appleton. So Apton may be linked to Alpington.[2]
The civil parish has an area of 2.18 square kilometres and in the 2001 census had a population of 460 in 199 households, increasing to 477 at the 2011 Census.[3] district of South Norfolk .[4] Yelverton .[5]
The village has a village hall, primary school and a pub, the 'Wheel of Fortune'.[6]
Alpington and Yelverton are served by Ambassador Travel buses to Norwich and out to Seething and Loddon .
