Ranworth is a village in Norfolk, England in The Broads, adjacent to Malthouse Broad and Ranworth Broad. It is located in the civil parish of Woodbastwick.
The village's name origin is uncertain 'Edge enclosure' or perhaps, 'Randi's enclosure.'
The 16th-century Church of St Helen, known as 'the Cathedral of the Broads',[1] has a fine 15th century painted rood screen and a rare Antiphoner. It is a Grade I listed building[2] From the top of Ranworth church's 100-foot (30 m) tower one can see many of the broads and rivers, as well as the Happisburgh lighthouse.
