Horsey, Norfolk

Horsey is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk within The Broads national park.

[1] At the 2011 Census the population remained less than 100 and was included in the civil parish of Sea Palling.

An electric pumphouse next door is operated by the Broads Internal Drainage Board.

[3] Horsey has often taken the brunt of devastating floods and violent coastal storms and, on some notable occasions, the sea has entered the Broads, rendering the water salty and killing large numbers of wildlife.

The 18th century owner of Horsey, Sir Berney Brograve, by reviving a previous Act of Parliament, unsuccessfully tried to have the sea breaches repaired after many destructive inundations of his estate.
