Watton
Watton is a market town in the area of Breckland within the English region of Norfolk. The A1075 Dereham-Thetford road and also the B1108 Brandon-Norwich Road meet at a crossroads below, 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 inhabitants in 3,000 families, increasing to a population of 7,202 in 3,226 at the 2011 Census. The Domesday Book recorded that Watton (or Wadetuna) included a church, manor house as well as Anglo-Saxon negotiation. A station at Watton, on the Thetford & Watton Railway, opened up in October 1869 and closed in June 1964. The line itself was closed in April 1965. In 1984 Watton was twinned with the Lower Rhine (Niederrhein) community of Weeze, Germany, with the subsequent twinning charter being officially signed in 1987.
