Denver, Norfolk

A village south of Downham Market in Norfolk, England, on the river Great Ouse. In 1651 the first sluice was built across the river, although it had to be rebuilt after bursting in 1713. The sluices are now enjoyed by many tourists, and are the home of the local sailing club.

Denver is home to a fully restored 19th century windmill, and lies on the path of the roman Fen Causeway. Captain George Manby was born in the village in 1765, and a plaque commemorating this can be found at his birthplace.
