Feltwell is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It is north-west of Thetford and south-west of Norwich on the western border of the county where it meets Cambridgeshire.
==History== Feltwell's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin. There is evidence of Roman settlement in the parish, including two villas and two bathhouses. In the Domesday Book, it is listed as a settlement of 124 residents in the hundred of Grimshoe. In 1086, the village was divided between the East Anglian estates of William the Conqueror, William de Warenne and the Abbey of St Etheldreda, Ely.
