Syderstone is a civil parish in the English county of Norfolk, near the town of Fakenham.

[4] The initials "A. R." on the church gates refer to Amy Robsart, whose family were lords of the manor.

She and her husband, Robert Dudley, later Earl of Leicester, lived for a time at Syderstone Hall, which no longer stands.

[6] In a field alongside the road that passes the duck pond there is a World War II Home Guard pill box.

On a bright spring day in 1944 or 1945 two P-51 Mustangs collided over Barwick Hall Farm near Stanhoe.
