Gayton is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. The village is located 6 miles (9.7 km) east of King's Lynn and 32 miles (51 km) north-west of Norwich, along the Gaywood River and the B1145 between King's Lynn and Mundesley.

History

Gayton's name is of Anglo-Saxon and Viking origin and derives from either the Old Norse for 'goat settlement' or the Old English for 'Gaega's settlement'.[1]

In the Domesday Book, Gayton is recorded as a settlement of 51 households in the hundred of Freebridge. In 1086, the village was divided between the estates of William de Warenne, William d'Ecouis, Hugh de Montfort and Henry de Ferrers.[2]

Gayton Hall still stands within the parish. It was built in the early Nineteenth Century and its gardens remain open to the public.

Geography

According to the 2011 Census, Gayton has a population of 1,432 residents living in 657 households. Furthermore, the parish has a total area of 8.82 square miles (22.8 km2).[3]

Gayton falls within the constituency of North West Norfolk and is represented at Parliament by James Wild MP of the Conservative Party. For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk.

St. Nicholas' Church

Main article: St Nicholas Church, Gayton

Gayton's parish church dates largely from the Fourteenth Century and is dedicated to Saint Nicholas.[4] In September 2013, James Meade, son of equestrian champion Richard Meade, and Lady Laura Marsham, daughter of Julian Charles Marsham, 8th Earl of Romney, got married in this church. Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, Prince Harry and Pippa Middleton were in attendance at the wedding.

Amenities

There is one pub in the village, The Crown. The village also has a butcher's shop, Gayton Goslings care/daycare centre, a hair salon, a fish and chip shop and petrol station combining convenience shop/post office. The village formally had a windmill and is currently seeing a large increase in the building of residential housing.

The majority of local children attend Gayton Church of England Primary School, which was rated as a 'Good' school by Ofsted in May, 2023.[5]
