But now a gaff, which made a Norfolk village appear to have an elaborate boundary, has been resolved.

Until recently, the unassuming village of Poringland on the outskirts of Norwich had one of the most perplexing boundaries in the county, according to Google Maps.

Satellite mapping had shown the boundary line zigzagging on Fallowfield just off Hall Road, separating the suburban area of around 7,000 people from its neighbouring village of Framlingham Earl.
