Carleton Forehoe is a village and former civil parish 9 miles (14 km) west of Norwich,[1] now in the parish of Kimberley, in the South Norfolk district of Norfolk, England. In 1931 the parish had a population of 123.[2]

History

Carleton Forehoe's name is of Anglo-Saxon and Viking origin and derives from an amalgamation of the Old English and Old Norse for a settlement of free men close to four earthen mounds.[3]

In the Domesday Book, Carleton Forehoe was recorded Carletuna/Karletuna[4] with 40 households and the principal village in the hundred of Forehoe. The land of the village was divided between King William, Alan of Brittany and St Benet's Abbey.

On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Kimberley.[5]

St. Mary's Church

Carleton Forehoe's Parish Church is of Norman origin and is dedicated to Saint Mary. It is unusual for Norfolk churches due to the red brick elements of the church tower.[6]
