Brundall is a village and civil parish in the Broadland district, in the county of Norfolk, England. It is located on the north bank of the River Yare opposite Surlingham Broad and about 7 miles (11 km) east of the city of Norwich. In 2011 the parish had a population of 4019.
Brundall's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin and likely derives from the Old English for a small area of dry land with an abundance of broom.[2]
In the Domesday Book of 1086, Brundall is recorded as consisting of 70 households belonging to King William, Bishop William of Thetford and Gilbert the Bowman.[3]
In 1874, Brundall was the location of the Thorpe rail accident, a major head-on collision between two railway locomotives which resulted in the deaths of 25 people.
In 1898, the boatbuilder, Brooms of Brundall, was established. This company has built high quality watercraft and operated water tours on the Broads for over one hundred years and is still in operation.[4]
The civil parish has an area of 4.39 km2 and in the 2001 census had a population of 3,978 people in 1,681 households, increasing to a population of 4,019 in 1,765 households at the 2011 Census.
For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of Broadland. As in other broadland villages, the land lying directly adjacent to the river falls into the executive area of the Broads Authority.
The village is served by two railway stations on the Wherry Lines: and . There are regular services between, and, which are operated by Greater Anglia.[5]
First Eastern Counties provides regular bus services to Norwich, Blofield Heath, Silfield and Lingwood on the Green Line routes.[6]
