I'd say NOR-itch, but I'm Irish so that's a whole other kettle of fish accent wise.

I once had to tell an american it isn't pronounced NOR WITCH! also the county isn't NOR FOKE.

Norritch

@DottieLottie1 But Burgh Castle is pronounced different to Happisburgh! Love a Norfolk Spelling!

Windum otherwise known as weirdham if you’ve lived there😂. Love it so much x

MustardScreams · 16/06/2019 07:18

I live in the city center, it’s definitely Nor -Ridge. Or Naaaaridge with the proper accent.

rhymes with porridge in my mind

I live but not born here and say Norridge

if you are moving here you need to master Wymondham and Happisburgh too!

Sockworkshop · 16/06/2019 07:49

Blames has it !
Never heard Nor-ridge ever and I was born and bred.
Naaaaaaartch !

Singleandproud · 16/06/2019 07:49

Ahh should have read the next page someone else got in with Wymondham ... if you want to be accepted as a local you have to get that one or well know your an outsider Grin

Barnabyboy · 16/06/2019 07:57

Not-rich as there is no D in in...

Singleandproud · 16/06/2019 08:07

Phonics don’t tend to count in Norfolk , it doesn’t matter if Norwich doesn’t have a D in it.

floraloctopus · 16/06/2019 08:08
