Welcome to Whinburgh and Westfield
CLICK FOR 2021 CENSUS DATAIntroduction
The Parish of Whinburgh and Westfield lies just south of Dereham in Norfolk. It is formed from the two ancient parishes which centred round the churches of St Mary Whinburgh and St Andrew Westfield, and until 1894 the churches performed all the functions of local government. This all changed with the Local Government Act, 1894, which created civil parishes alongside each of the ecclesiastical ones. All the duties which did not relate to church matters were transferred to the civil parishes, each of which was governed by a parish meeting, or (when the number of residents in the parish justified it) an elected parish council.
