Diss is a small town in near the southernmost part of South Norfolk, England, close to the border with Suffolk. It covers 5.32 sq km (2.05 sq mi) and has a population of 7,000 people (2012 estimate).

Despite its small size today, Diss traces its history back to the late Anglo-Saxon period. At that time, it was part of Suffolk, and was directly the property of Edward the Confessor. Following Norman Conquest, it passed into the ownership of William the Conqueror.

Today Diss is a charming little English town. There are a number of well-preserved historic buildings in town, among them the Church of St Mary the Virgin and a 16th century merchant's house, the Dolphin.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
