THE THORNHAMS

Today's weather: A lovely sunny and warm day.

The twin villages of Thornham Magna and Thornham Parva lie within a mile or so of each other through wooded country lanes. Magna is the larger of the villages with a lovely pub, a forge workshop and village hall while Parva has its quaint little thatched church and only a few shattered houses. Both villages lie about 3 miles from Eye and close to the A140 main road from Norwich to Ipswich.
