Narford is situated in the Breckland District of Norfolk and covers an area of 970 hectares (3.75 square miles).

[1] At the 2011 Census the population of the area remained less than 100 and is included in the civil parish of South Acre.

The large 18th-century Narford Hall built by Andrew Fountaine, art collector and amateur architect, is nearby.

[2][3] Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini's decorations were removed from Burlington House in London by 1727 and survive at Narford Hall.

Adjacent to the hall is St Mary the Virgin church[4] in the Benefice of Narborough and part of the Nar Valley Group of Parishes.
