Cockthorpe is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Binham, in the North Norfolk district, in the county of Norfolk, England.[1] It is 5.2 miles (8.4 km) north-west of Holt, 28.9 miles (46.5 km) north-west of Norwich and 127 miles (204 km) north of London. In 1931 the parish had a population of 55.[2] On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Binham.[3]

The village is close to the North Norfolk coast and the villages of Stiffkey, Blakeney and Morston. The village has a small church which is called All Saints and has a 14th-century tower. The church is now disused.[citation needed]
