3 unusual facts about Arminghall


Arminghall

Most of the houses in the village are located close to the church, which lies just west of the B1332 road from Norwich to Poringland.

In 1929 a prehistoric timber circle and henge monument site was discovered 1½ miles (2½ km) northwest of Arminghall village by Gilbert Insall VC who had been taking air photos of the area in search of new archaeological sites.

The site was visited a week later by O.G.S. Crawford, who pronounced it to be the Norwich Woodhenge but it was not until 1935 that it was first excavated, by Grahame Clark.
