Corpusty is a village and former civil parish , now in the parish of Corpusty and Saxthorpe , in the North Norfolk district of Norfolk , England. It is located on the River Bure , about 16 mi (26 km ) from Norwich and 6 mi (9.7 km ) from Holt . In the 2011 Census , Corpusty had a population of 2,322 residents living in 1,193 households.[2]
History [ edit ]
Corpusty's name is of Viking origin and derives from the Old Norse for 'raven's path'.[3]
In the Domesday Book , Corpusty is recorded as a settlement of six households in the hundred of South Erpingham . In 1086, the village was divided between the estates of William de Warenne , William de Beaufeu and William d'Ecouis .[4]
The village was once home to Corpusty and Saxthorpe railway station , which opened in 1883 as part of the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway . It was a stop on their route between Melton Constable and Yarmouth Beach . The station closed in 1959, yet much of the infrastructure still remains.

On 1 April 1935, the parish of Saxthorpe was merged with Corpusty;[6] Corpusty & Saxthorpe on 1 April 2007.[7]
Corpusty lies within the constituency of North Norfolk ; it is represented at Parliament by Duncan Baker MP of the Conservative Party .
St. Peter's Church [ edit ]
Corpusty's parish church is of Norman origin and is dedicated to Saint Peter . It was significantly remodelled over the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, and subsequently in the nineteenth century. By the 1960s, the church building began to decline and is now in the care of the Norfolk Churches Trust .[8]
Amenities [ edit ]
Corpusty Primary School is located in the village and operates as part of the Synergy Multi-Academy Trust . In 2022, the school was rated 'Good' by Ofsted .[9]
The Duke's Head public house in Corpusty is still open and has operated on the site since 1794.[10]
