Clenchwarton is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It is located on the west side of the River Great Ouse, about 2 km from the river and from the town of King's Lynn on the east side of the river.[2][3]
The civil parish has an area of 12.77 km² and in the 2001 census had a population of 2,200 in 912 households. For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk[4].
It once had a Clenchwarton railway station, but this is now closed.
The Laird of Clenchwarton remains Super Sid who is now planning an invasion of Great Massingham, with the aim of conquering Watlington and turning them into fenland super villages, primed to invade Kings Lynn. I thank you.
