Forncett

Forncett ward is a rural area in South Norfolk, consisting of the villages of Forncett St. Mary and Forncett St. Peter. The landscape is characterised by open farmland, hedgerows, and scattered woodland, with the River Tas flowing through the parish. The area is primarily agricultural, with a mix of arable and livestock farming shaping the local economy and scenery. Residential development is largely contained within the two historic village cores, maintaining a distinctly countryside character.

The parish church of St. Mary in Forncett St. Mary features a round tower, a notable architectural element found in several Norfolk churches. Community life centres on local institutions like the village hall and the primary school. The network of quiet country lanes and public footpaths, including parts of the Tas Valley Way, provides access to the surrounding fields and waterways, offering a typical, tranquil Norfolk farming landscape.
