Melton Constable
Melton Constable is a village and also civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It covers an area of 6.96 km2 (2.69 sq mi) as well as had a population of 518 in 225 homes at the 2001 census. The population had increased to 618 at the 2011 Census. For the objectives of city government, it falls within the district of North Norfolk. The town remains on relatively high ground south-west of Holt. The place-name 'Melton Constable' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it looks like 'Maeltuna'. This might suggest either 'middle community' or 'mill town'. There is a reference to 'Constabularius de Melton' in 1197, as the land was held by the constable of the bishop of Norwich. Melton Constable Hall is considered the finest specimen of the Christopher Wren design of home. The church of St Peter's Melton Constable lies within Melton Constable park; it includes many monuments to the Astley family, who previously stayed at Melton Constable Hall.
