You may be wondering why, on this village site, we have Clenchwarton Station. The answer is quite simple......
Although the station was called Clenchwarton it actually stood within the boundaries of Tilney All Saints.
The station was opened in the late 1860's and was on the 'Joint Line' which linked Norfolk to Lincolnshire.
The last train came through in February 1959 The buildings were used for storage until demolition in 1980, 
when the area was  cleared to build the new Terrington and Clenchwarton by-pass. 
The new road, the A17 follows the site of the old railway line from Lynn to Sutton Bridge.
