Walcott is a small village and civil parish on the North Norfolk coast in England between Mundesley and Happisburgh.〔Ordnance Survey, Explorer Sheet 252, Norfolk Coast East, ISBN 978-0-319-46726-8〕 The name is formed from the Anglian word 'walh' (cognate with 'Welsh') and the Anglo-Saxon 'cot' meaning 'cottage, hut, shelter or den'.〔'Guide to English Place Names', Nottingham University, online() A different source suggests "walh" means "serf or foreigner": Rye J, 'A popular guide to Norfolk place-names', 2000, Larks Press〕 The village is north east of Norwich, south east of Cromer and north east of London. The village lies east of the town of North Walsham. The village is the only point where the B1159 (the coast road) actually runs along the edge of the sea. This makes it a popular stopping off point for day-trippers and storm watchers. The parish was created in 2008, having formerly been part of Happisburgh parish. ==History== ''This section is adapted from (The Historic Happing Website ) with permission.〔See commons:Commons:OTRS Ticket#2008091010035136〕'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Walcott, Norfolk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
