Melton Constable
Melton Constable is a village as well as civil parish in the English area of Norfolk. It covers a location of 6.96 km2 (2.69 sq mi) as well as had a population of 518 in 225 families at the 2001 census. The population had actually boosted to 618 at the 2011 Census. For the objectives of city government, it falls within the district of North Norfolk. The town remains on fairly high ground south-west of Holt. The place-name 'Melton Constable' is first proved in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it looks like 'Maeltuna'. This might imply either 'middle community' or 'mill community'. There is a recommendation to 'Constabularius de Melton' in 1197, as the land was held by the constable of the diocesan of Norwich. Melton Constable Hall is considered as the finest sampling of the Christopher Wren design of house. The church of St Peter's Melton Constable lies within Melton Constable park; it consists of several monuments to the Astley family, that formerly stayed at Melton Constable Hall.
