Ashmanhaugh is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk, situated some 20 km north east of Norwich. See Inside the churches of St Swithins here & Beeston St Lawrence here. Apart from Ashmanhaugh village itself, the parish also includes Beeston St Lawrence, which was a separate parish until 1935.
The village name derives from 'Sailor's/pirate's enclosure' or perhaps, 'Aescmann's enclosure'.
