of local government, it falls within the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk.
It is close to the Norfolk coast, and is slightly smaller than the nearby South Wootton. North Wootton is near the village of Castle Rising, and both were owned by the Howard family, who are patrons of both parish churches. Former marshland links the village to the coast. Predominantly a farming village, the village is now experiencing a period of growth owing to new developments, holiday retreats for Londoners being the most recent of these.
The old part is located around the small village green consisting of a few houses, an old schoolhouse and a former post office (now closed).
With the arrival of the railway, a station (now disused) was built in the west of the village towards the marsh. The railway linked King's Lynn with Hunstanton. The old station waiting room is still extant, though now part of a private house. The signal box was used by the local scout group for many years, but has now been removed for future use on a heritage railway outside the local area. The station would have been familiar to the Royal family being only 2.8 miles (4.5 km) away across the River Babingley from Wolferton station which served the nearby Sandringham Estate.
The old Red Cat Hotel still stands. It is in the heart of North Wootton near the old railway. The Red Cat hotel is a traditional Norfolk Inn.
West Norfolk Rugby Club is based there, and was founded in 1925 around the time when there was only a small selection of clubs in Norfolk. The club itself was originally based in Swaffham, but was later moved during the early 1930s to the Dukes Head in King’s Lynn until WW2. At the end of the war the club reformed and moved to North Wootton, where it used the stables at the Red Cat hotel for changing facilities. West Norfolk Rugby Club has continued, and now has a youth section.
There is only one school — North Wootton Academy.
All Saints Church is a Grade II listed building, designed by Anthony Salvin in 1852. The parish is part of the Anglican Benefice of the Church in the Woottons, led by the Rector, the Revd. Canon James Nash.
