A woman in her 60s has been taken to hospital after falling from a height in a west Norfolk village.

Emergency services were called to Low Road in Wretton, near Downham Market, shortly after 4.10pm today.

The fire service said two fire crews from King's Lynn and a crew from Norfolk Urban Search and Rescue attended the scene.

They rescued a person who had 'fallen from height', the fire service said.

An ambulance service spokesman said an ambulance and the Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) were sent to the scene.

The woman, who is believed to be in her 60s, was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital with an ankle injury.

A spokesman said she fell around 3ft.
