Castle Road, KING'S LYNN, PE33 0SG

Wormegay village is situated about 9 kilometres south of King's Lynn (King's Lynn and West Norfolk district) and covers an area of approximately 12 square kilometres. The remains of a medieval cross can be seen on the green by the junction of Castle Road and Saxon Way. Wormegay Castle, a motte and bailey earthwork, lies immediately to the west of the village centre. Wormegay once used to be grouped around its church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1742397 - it is dedicated to St Michael and All Angels and Holy Cross - until the mid-14th century, when the location was abandoned either because of the Black Death (the plague) which was brought to England by troops returning from the crusades to the second most important port in the country, King's Lynn, or because the land had become infertile due to over-farming.

This impressively-equipped small green has a sign, a war memorial, an ancient cross, a bench, a litter bin, a tree, a notice board, and a post box.

The village sign https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4589197 is also in the picture. The War Memorial has eight names of men who were lost in WW1 and of one who was lost in WW2.

A representation of how Wormegay castle would have appeared when it controlled the causeway across The Fens, the church of St Michael and All Angels is well to the east of the present village which settled round the castle. The river is actually the Polver Drain which feeds into the relief channel of the Great Ouse at Wiggenhall. The bridge is at the eastern end of Castle Road floodplain and causeway. The village has a strong agricultural heritage, hence the pig, horse, wheatsheaf and sheep.
