      Find the latitude of Thetford.  Wikipedia shows it as 52 deg 24 min 36 sec North, but I would doublecheck this information, as I would all information on Wikipedia.
      Subtract this figure from 90 deg, leaving 37 deg 36 min  24 sec.
      Convert this to minutes;  2256.4
      Remember that a minute of arc on the earth's surface is a Nautical mile and that a Nautical mile equals 1.150779 statute miles or 1.852 kilometers.
      Multiply.
      2256.4 times 1.150779 = 2596.6177  miles
      2256.4 times 1.852   =  4178.8528  km
