Edingthorpe is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Bacton, in the North Norfolk district, in the county of Norfolk, England, about 10 miles (16 km) south-east of Cromer. In 1931 the parish had a population of 213.[1] On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Bacton[2] under the County of Norfolk Review Order, 1935.
The villages name means 'Eadgyth's outlying farm/settlement', a feminine personal name. Spellings show confusion with another feminine personal name, Eadgifu.[3]
Its church, All Saints, is one of 124 existing round-tower churches in Norfolk, although it has a rare octagon top.
