Dersingham Village by Tom Morris

Welcome to Dersingham-On-Line!

Dersingham is one of the largest villages in the Borough of King's Lynn and West Norfolk.  The village is on the outskirts of the royal Sandringham estate and close to the sea.  It is situated some 9 miles from King's Lynn, 42 miles from Norwich, and 1.5 miles from Sandringham House.

Dersingham covers some 1,500 hectares and at its highest point is only some 50 metres above sea level.  However, for the early settlers it proved to be the ideal place to live because it was on the coast but high enough to avoid flooding and had a ready supply of fresh water from its numerous springs.  The village's population was counted as 4,502 in 2001 but as Dersingham has expanded, so has the population, probably now in excess of 5,000.

Dersingham is a growing village and it is one of the largest villages in the Borough of King's Lynn and West Norfolk. The village is situated some 9 miles from King's Lynn, 42 miles from Norwich, and 1.5 miles from Sandringham House.
