It covers an area of and had a population of 303 in 127 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.〕 For the purposes of local government, it falls within the district of Broadland. ==History== The Domesday book recorded that this manor was under the ownership of the Bishop of Bayeux. The village was home to the 18th-century clergyman and diarist, Parson Woodforde, in whose honour the village pub is named (). He has a reputation as a man with a fondness for food which comes from the much edited published versions of his diaries; the originals provide a rich and unique insight into 18th-century rural English life. A World War II airfield located in the parish is now a turkey farm. Weston Hall and Park, also in the parish, have a golf course and a tourist attraction, the Dinosaur Adventure Park. 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「Weston Longville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
