Sisland, historically Sislanda,[1] is a very small village, manor and parish in the county of Norfolk, England, about a mile west of Loddon.
For the purposes of local government, it falls within the district of South Norfolk, however Sisland does have its own Parish Council.
[8] Sisland's topography is, like most of East Anglia, made up of river meadows and flat agricultural landscape.
Land cover today mostly consists of cultivated crops and Hay, along with scattered trees, including a small patch of mixed woodland, called Sisland Carr.
The geological system of Sisland mostly consists of Cainozoic Sedimentary rock, with a layer of Eocene clay and sand laid down in the Paleogene Period.
[9] Sisland has a temperate maritime climate like much of the British Isles, with relatively cooler summers and milder winters.
[17] The modern iteration of Sisland Church is a wood cladded, thatched, mid 18th Century Church, the previous, 14th century, iteration was destroyed by lightning on Sunday 12th July 1761 at three o'clock in the afternoon, during afternoon service, and was rebuilt almost immediately afterwards.
The former north wall was reused, and the remaining ruins were left standing round the back of the church.
Ketil held many other manors, some as Lord, and others as Overlord, however in 1086, after the Norman conquest of England, Godric is recorded in the Domesday Book as Lord of the Manor of Sislanda, together with other manors, including Londe (Loddon)[21] Ralph de Lodne, with the consent of Gosceline, his son, gave by deed sans date to the nunnery of Wykes in Essex, with Beatrice his daughter, the tithe of his house and land at Preston in Suffolk: this was in the time of William (Turbe) Bishop of Norwich, as appears by the deed, and in the reign of Henry II of England.
The de Beauchamp family held the Manor of Sisland until John de Beauchamp, gave his interest in the Manor of Syseland and the land and advowson of Lodne, to Edward, son of Sir William Charles, and Alice.
