Tharston and Hapton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The civil parish of Tharston and Hapton lies in the south of the county of Norfolk, England.
As of 2004, the parish has a population of more than six hundred people in 282 households. This is a recent increase, attributed to a new housing development in the area. However, affordable housing is becoming more of a problem, which is seen to be leading to young people moving away.
[edit] Facilities
A church is located in each of the villages: St. Mary's in Hapton and St Margaret's in Tharston. A Church of England primary school is also located in the village of Hapton.
Redwings Horse Sanctuary purchased Hapton Hall several years ago and now own a large area of land surrounding the farm.
A small industrial estate is located in Tharston.
