Description
Horsey is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk within The Broads national park.
It covers an area of 8.49 km² and had a population of 99 in 40 households at the 2001 census.
At the 2011 Census, the population remained less than 100 and was included in the civil parish of Sea Palling.
The village name means “Horsey Island”.
Horsey Windpump is the youngest Windpump in the Broads, having been built by Dan England in 1912 and is in the care of the National Trust.
It was struck by lightning in 1943 and ceased working at this time. Having succumbed to the elements and ravages of time, a significant restoration project to replace the sails began in 2016, and the new sails first turned again in May 2019.
The longer ambition is to have it restored to complete working order. The tea room and Windpump are open from March until October, but the more expansive estate is open all year.
