Diss is a historic market town located in the south of Norfolk, England, nestled in the picturesque Waveney Valley. The town's name is believed to derive from 'dic' meaning either ditch or embankment, referring to the town's position near the mere, a six-acre lake of natural origin that sits in the heart of the town.
Dating back to the Domesday Book of 1086, Diss developed as an important trading center during medieval times, with its market being granted by Richard the Lionheart in 1195. The town retains much of its historical character through its well-preserved Tudor and Georgian buildings, particularly along its Heritage Triangle area.
The town is known for its strong cultural heritage, with the Corn Hall serving as a prominent arts venue and cultural center. The local museum helps preserve and share the town's rich history, while the mere continues to be a focal point for both residents and visitors, reflecting the town's enduring connection between its natural and cultural heritage.
