New Buckenham, Norfolk

Flower Delivery to New Buckenham with Clare Florist

Lying between the towns of Diss and Attleborough, the civil parish of New Buckenham used to have small town flair but that was cut short in the 1930s when the trades declined. An area of interest is the Common, which is one of largest areas of common land in South Norfolk. Here you can see New Buckenham flowers, particularly green-winged orchids.

If you love watching wildlife, the Common is a great way to spot some warblers, especially during the spring and summer. You can even take a date out to the Common as a way of introducing them to your interests. You can then make the event even more romantic by buying some flowers in New Buckenham and presenting them to your date during a romantic meal. If you can't do that, you can go for a more dramatic surprise when you send flowers to New Buckenham to your accommodation.

HISTORY

In 1145, William d'Albini who is of Norman origin founded the Castle. The town was built around this castle for the purpose of services and labour. Today, only the motte, bailey and ruined keep exist and the original size of the castle is around the same area covered by the remains.

Queen Elizabeth I granted a Town Charter to New Buckenham giving the town permission to stage markets and fairs. This practice still exists to this day with the August Bank Holiday fete held each year.

Apart from the old buildings, another go-to place is the Common where you can see lots of flowers and observe or hear different kinds of warblers, such as garden warblers, reed warblers and sedge warblers – just to name a few.
