The Arms The Arms is a hamlet within the parish of Little Cressingham and Threxton; its curious name appears to derive from a pub which was once here - the Cressingham Arms. There is nothing much here now except a parish notice case and a bench for the weary; even the old methodist chapel has become a private residence. It is more or less surrounded on three sides by the vast Stanford battle area - land used by the Army as a training ground since the Second World War - giving the small settlement an isolated end of the road feel.

The Arms Parish Notices There isn't a great deal to do at The Arms, but one possibility is to read the notices of Little Cressingham and Threxton Parish Council, neatly displayed in this notice case. Light pollution seems to be a current concern - street lamps are not wanted here in this deeply rural corner of Norfolk. The signpost is a little surreal, reminding visitors that there is no way on from here other than to go back to the B1108; land stretching for many miles to the south is taken by the Ministry of Defence for its Stanford Battle Area.

Stanford Training Area The Stanford Training Area (STANTA), more commonly known by its original name the 'Battle Area', is a vast army training ground occupying about 30,000 acres of Norfolk breckland. The land was acquired in 1942 taking over six villages and has been used ever since - including training troops for operations in Afghanistan. Many of the roads entering the area are part of the original road network, but this one, just west of The Arms, was purpose-built.

Eastmere sign Eastmere on STANTA was formerly a replica of a west European village (aka German) used to train soldiers for Fighting in Built Up Areas (FIBUA). It was subsequently rebuilt as an Iraqi village. This was never really used in anger as it was completed after the British withdrawal from Iraq.

These are constructed from shipping containers then covered with wood and sprayed with concrete.
