Thetford is a historic market town in Norfolk, England, situated where the Rivers Little Ouse and Thet meet. With a rich history dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period, it was one of medieval England's major cities and the ancient capital of the Kingdom of East Anglia.
The town maintains strong connections to its past through various historical sites, including the remains of a Norman castle and one of the largest man-made castle mounds in England. Thetford is also notable for its association with Thomas Paine, one of America's founding fathers, who was born here in 1737.
The town has a diverse cultural heritage, including its Ancient House Museum, which showcases local history in a beautifully preserved Tudor merchant's house. The surrounding Thetford Forest, Britain's largest lowland pine forest, adds to the area's natural and recreational appeal.
