I got married very near there last summer and in the build up to it, our interactions with locals was about 40/60 friendly/fuck off.
Best thing was the lighting guy who told me he'd moved his family up there from London 15 years ago. On the day he moved in his next-door neighbour had a massive rant at him about 'londoners thinking they own the place' and has refused to speak to him since!

It really could be: quite a well-preserved market town centre with lots of proper flint-built cottages; next to Thetford Forest; river running through it; 40 mins from Cambridge or Norwich; about 2 hours from London. On paper - and in my head - it was an undiscovered gem; but staying there quickly made us realise there are reasons why property is unbelievably cheap in some places.
