About

Thetford Priory ward encompasses the historic core of Thetford, an area defined by its monastic past and the River Little Ouse. The landscape is dominated by the extensive earthwork ruins of the Cluniac priory, a scheduled monument, and the adjacent Ancient House Museum. The ward includes the town's central retail streets and residential terraces, with the river forming a green corridor through the urban setting.

A specific network of pedestrian footpaths, known locally as the 'Green Walks', links the priory ruins to Bellrope and Redcastle Furze, tracing the perimeter of the medieval town defences. This open space system connects key historical sites, including the remains of a medieval chapel and the Castle Mound, within a largely residential ward that functions as the town's administrative and commercial centre.
