Great Massingham is a village in Norfolk; a little place of just 902 folk counted at the 2011 census.
The village has a primary school (including a pre-school in the grounds), a village shop, a pub (the Dabbling Duck), a village hall and a church (St Mary's). Little Massingham is a hamlet just to the north, while to the south are the broad lands of Massingham Common and Massingham Heath.
The village is notable for the number of ponds in the village - two large ones in the village centre and more in the outskirts. The school logo incorporates a duck, so large is their number.
