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.
