Cringleford is a civil parish and village in the English county of Norfolk. The village sits on the River Yare and forms part of the outskirts of Norwich.

History

Cringleford's name is of mixed Viking and Anglo-Saxon origin and derives from an amalgamation of the Old English and Old Norse for a circular ford over the River Yare.^[1]

In the Domesday Book, Cringleford is listed as a settlement of 25 households located in the hundred of Humbleyard. In 1086, the village was divided between the estates of Odo of Bayeux, Alan of Brittany and Roger Bigod.^[2]

Geography

According to the 2011 Census, Cringleford has a population of 2,963 residents living in 1,275 households.^[3]

Cringleford falls within the constituency of South Norfolk and is represented at Parliament by Ben Goldsborough of the Labour Party.

St. Peter's Church

Cringleford's parish church is of Norman origin and is dedicated to Saint Peter. The tower was significantly remodelled in the Fourteenth Century with a further aisle being added in the late Nineteenth Century. The stained glass was installed in the early Twentieth Century by Lavers, Barraud and Westlake with a further depiction of Saint Andrew completed by Herbert Bryans.^[4]

Amenities

The majority of local children attend Cringleford Church of England Primary School which was recently extensively refurbished and extended. In 2017, Cringleford Primary was rated by Ofsted as 'Outstanding.'^[5] On 5th September 2024, a new primary school, Cringleford Prep School, was opened. It belongs to the Inspiration Trust and was constructed as part of the new developments for Cringleford Heights.

In November 2024, a new sports pavilion in the St Giles development, named the Jubilee Centre, is expected to open to the public to host a wide variety of sports such as volleyball, netball, badminton and 5-a-side football matches through bookings.
