Cockley Cley is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It covers an area of 17.94 km2 (6.93 sq mi) and had a population of 138 in 58 households in the 2001 census.[1] For the purposes of local government, it falls within the district of Breckland.

Its church, All Saints, is one of 124 existing round-tower churches in Norfolk. It was restored in 1866–88 by diocesan architect Richard Phipson.[2] In 1991 part of the tower collapsed. The interior was not harmed and still exhibits the Victorian idea of how a church should look. The north arcade is 14th century, and it has been copied for the south arcade.[3]
