Tacolneston (Template:IPAc-en) is a village and civil parish in the South Norfolk District of Norfolk with a population of around 700,[1] measured at the 2011 Census as a population of 825.[2] Its name occurs in the 1086 Domesday Book as Tacoluestuna and is theorized to come from Anglo-Saxon Tātwulfes tūn, meaning "Tātwulf's farmstead", via an old handwriting misread 'n' for 'u'.
It is the location of the Tacolneston transmitting station, a facility for both analogue and digital VHF/FM radio and UHF television transmission.
Tacolneston Church of England Primary School, which has around 80 pupils aged 5–11, is situated on Norwich Road.[3]
The village is the site of the historic All Saints' Parish Church, which has a ring of six bells in its tower, part of which dates from the 14th century.[4][5]
