Tourist Guide

All Saints Church, Stanford This is All Saints church, Stanford. This church is situated inside the STANTA military battle training area and I visited on 26th March 2010 with special permission from the MoD. The area was originally established in 1942 when a battle training area was required. Military exercises were already known in the area; tanks had trained at Thetford in the First World War. The complete takeover involved the evacuation of the villages of Buckenham Tofts, Langford, Stanford, Sturston, Tottington and West Tofts. All residents were evactuated in 1942.

Hotel was inviting and clean and staff were friendly and very helpful. Had a very nice evening meal there too and breakfast was great. Only slight negative was two very narrow single beds in our room.

Lovely accommodation, spacious, warm and very comfortable. Beds were also very comfortable. My only negative comment is about the road condition from the main road down to the cottages - lots of large potholes with parts of the road in very poor condition.
