Welcome to Brisley
Brisley is a rural civil parish in the Breckland District of the English county of Norfolk; with a population of just over 250.
​
Brisley is served by St Bartholomew's Church, a medieval building, with a welcome for all.
​​
The Village Hall has been recently updated. As well as holding regular events, including the Village Cinema, the hall is available to hire for private functions.
​
Brisley Green is an area of registered common land, given to the Parish by the late Canon Dodson in 1993. It is one of the largest privately owned, lowland, grazing commons, some 58.64 hectares, in the UK.
​
Brisley has a long association with cricket. The club is sited on the Green, opposite the pub, and has a flourishing membership.
The local pub, The Bell, is an award winning 17th century village inn, with an excellent reputation. Well worth a visit, although booking is advised.
