Upton, Norfolk is a parish of Upton with Fishley which falls under the district of Broadland. It lies approximately two miles (3 km) north of Acle, positioning it halfway between the city of Norwich and the town of Great. The locality is noted for its association with Martha Neill Upton, a watercolorist, sculptor and studio quilt artist. Her quilted tapestries contributed to the recognition of quilts as fine art during the early 1970s. Upton’s connection to her work is highlighted by the fact that her quilts were exhibited in the first major museum exhibition of non‑traditional quilts, The New American Quilt, held at New York’s Museum of Arts and Design (then the Museum of Contemporary Craft) in 1976. The parish’s rural character and historical link to the arts provide a distinctive backdrop for residents and visitors alike.
