Thorpe Marriott

Thorpe Marriott is a residential area in Norfolk, England covering part of Taverham and Drayton parishes.

Although lacking its own school, surgery, post office or chemist, Thorpe Marriott holds a church and the Otter public house.

Broadland District Council first earmarked the 380 acre site for development in 1986.

[1] In 2005, the landlord of The Otter pub in Thorpe Marriott campaigned to gain a drinks licence extension to open later on Saint George's Day by designating it as a national holiday, but this was refused by a high court judge.

[3] Plans for the building of 1,530 new homes as well as a pub, a primary school, a medical centre, and shops on farmland on the edge of Thorpe Marriott, near the Norwich Northern Distributor Road were recommended in December that year.
