Pentney
Pentney is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk, located about south east of King's Lynn placing it about halfway between King's Lynn and Swaffham on the A47 road.
It covers an area of and had a population of 387 in 184 households at the 2001 census,〔(Census population and household counts for unparished urban areas and all parishes ). Office for National Statistics & Norfolk County Council (2001). Retrieved 20 June 2009.〕 increasing to 544 at the 2011 Census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Parish population 2011 )〕
For the purposes of local government, it falls within the district of North Norfolk. It is in the valley of the River Nar, a tributary of the River Great Ouse.
The age of the village is unknown, but it dates at least to the 3rd or 4th centuries CE, from which time there is evidence of a Romano-British local pottery industry.〔''Norfolk, Part 1, Buildings of England'', Pevsner architectural guides: Norfolk, Nikolaus Pevsner and Bill Wilson, Yale University Press, 2002, ISBN 0-300-09607-0〕 A Roman road and settlement in Pentney ran close to the river Nar〔Aslet Clive, 2011, Villages of Britain, p263. Bloomsbury publishing.〕 The name suggests that Pentney was at one time an island: one theory for the etymology is Penta's / Penda's Island, from the Anglo-Saxon ''Pendan-ig'', the ''ig'' being equivalent to Old Norse ''ey'' = island (Pentney is on drained waterlands).〔p.70, ''Surnames of the United Kingdom: A Concise Etymological Dictionary'', Henry Harrison, 1912; reprinted 1996, Genealogical Publishing Com, ISBN 0-8063-0171-6〕
