The historic Norfolk village of Worstead can be traced right back to the 1100's when Flemish immigrants first settled there.

As a result of this Worstead's St Mary the Virgin Church is one of the largest in the county.What is not as generally as well known is that many of its sons went off to battle in the First and Second World Wars and never returned, having paid the ultimate sacrifice for their beliefs and for King and Country.They served, fought, suffered and died in many of the main campaigns of both wars taking part in famous battles such as Gallipoli, the Somme, 3rd Ypres, the Battle of France, the Fall of Singapore, the Battle of Berlin, Salerno, Normandy, Italy and the Reichswald Forest in Germany.
