Tattersett
Tattersett is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It covers an area of 11.38 km2 and had a population of 902 in 390 households at the 2001 census, the population increasing to 962 at the 2011 Census. For the purposes of local government, it falls within the district of North Norfolk.
The village is on the north side of the A148 King's Lynn to Cromer road. The River Tat, a tributary of the River Wensum, rises close to the village.
The Tattersett name derives from the old English name of Tatessete, which means Tathere’s dwelling. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as a village called Tatessete in the ancient hundred of Brothercross, and is said to be the land of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey.
The boundaries of the hundreds of Norfolk at the time of the Domesday survey remained largely unchanged, and were anciently divided into leets of which no trace remains. Yet it may be possible to determine the leets of Brothercross and specifically the leet that Tattersett parish was within. At the time of Domesday, the parishes of the hundreds of Brothercross and Gallow "were strangely intermixed". When Tattersett parish was transferred to Gallow hundred (well before 1638), all the parishes that used the same prior lete court were likely included. Since the end of the 19th century, Gallow hundred has been superseded by other administrative units of government.
The village sign of Tattersett is in the middle of the village green, opposite Mallard Cottages.

Flag of the United Kingdom |
The United Kingdom has evolved from a series of annexations, unions and separations of constituent countries over several hundred years. The Treaty of Union between the Kingdom of England (which included Wales, annexed in 1542) and the Kingdom of Scotland in 1707 formed the Kingdom of Great Britain. Its union in 1801 with the Kingdom of Ireland created the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Most of Ireland seceded from the UK in 1922, leaving the present United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which formally adopted that name in 1927. The nearby Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey are not part of the UK, being Crown Dependencies with the British Government responsible for defence and international representation. There are also 14 British Overseas Territories, the last remnants of the British Empire which, at its height in the 1920s, encompassed almost a quarter of the world's landmass and a third of the world's population, and was the largest empire in history. British influence can be observed in the language, culture and the legal and political systems of many of its former colonies.
