Bricknel Close, Castle Acre

In the tranquil village location of Castle Acre, sits the development of Bricknel Close. These 15 homes, made up of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom properties, are surrounded by an historic village - history acknowledged by the name of this development.

According to land maps from 100 years ago, the field where the houses are built was called Bricknel Close. The current Holkham farm map identifies this field as Brick Close. Research by the Parish Clerk has revealed that Bricknell, with two ll, is from the Olde English pre-7th century word ‘brik’ meaning bright and ‘halh’ meaning a place – therefore a bright place which is open to the skies, rather than in woodland.
