Watton
Watton is a market community in the district of Breckland within the English region of Norfolk. The A1075 Dereham-Thetford road and the B1108 Brandon-Norwich Road satisfy at a crossroads right here, where the community developed, about 20 miles (32 kilometres) west of Norwich. The civil parish covers a location of 7.2 km2 (2.8 sq mi) with around 6,800 citizens in 3,000 homes, increasing to a population of 7,202 in 3,226 at the 2011 Census. The Domesday Book recorded that Watton (or Wadetuna) featured a church, manor house as well as Anglo-Saxon negotiation. A station at Watton, on the Thetford & Watton Railway, opened in October 1869 as well as enclosed June 1964. The line itself was closed in April 1965. In 1984 Watton was twinned with the Lower Rhine (Niederrhein) town of Weeze, Germany, with the succeeding twinning charter being officially checked in 1987.
