BBC Profile:
Richard Ryder took the new seat for the Conservatives in 1983. He had nearly 56% of the vote and Labour was left with fewer than 9,000 votes.
At the 1997 election, the new Conservative candidate, Keith Simpson, scraped a majority of just 1,336 in a swing to Labour of 13.1%. He won in 2001 by 4,562 votes, and in 2005 by 7,560.
The votes from the middle-class suburbs of Norwich, which were previously included in the Central Norfolk seat, were absorbed in the expansion of Norwich North and South in previous boundary changes. However, the wards of Brundall and Blofield, north of Norwich, have gone to Broadland in the recent boundary changes. Mid Norfolk lost over a dozen wards to Broadland, but gained 16 wards from South and South West Norfolk. To find out what might have happened had this boundary change been in force at the last election, see a notional - or estimated - result below.
This predominantly rural seat takes in a large area north of Norwich. The seat stretches across the heart of the county from Dereham to Wicklewood.
Under boundary changes Mid Norfolk has lost the main towns of Aylsham and Acle. These wards were important market towns connected with food production and food processing, a major source of income for the area. Dereham remains in the constituency with its agricultural processing, light manufacturing and retail.

These wards were important market towns connected with food production and food processing, a major source of income for the area. Dereham remains in the constituency with its agricultural processing, light manufacturing and retail.
The economy of Mid Norfolk will also be affected by the loss of tourism benefits which were concentrated in the east of the constituency around Coltishall, Wroxham and wards in the Norfolk Broads which were also lost to Broadland in the constituency changes.
The area has a high number of commuters, many of whom work in Norwich. Furthermore, with wards gained in the Wymondham area such as Rustens and Northfields, commuters have access to the A11 which provides access to Cambridge and London.
However, with a great number of rural communities in the revised Mid Norfolk constituency, it could be suggested that the main source of income is from those who commute and the wards lost like Brundall, with its reputation of boating and tourism, could lose the constituency a proportion of its seasonal income.
