Welcome to North Elmham

North Elmham is a small village located in the county of Norfolk, England. It is situated approximately 20 miles west of Norwich and has a population of around 1,000 people. The village is known for its rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Bronze Age. In the 7th century, North Elmham was the capital of the Kingdom of East Anglia and was home to the first bishopric in the region.

One of the most notable landmarks in North Elmham is the ruins of the Saxon cathedral, which was built in the 7th century and was the seat of the Bishop of East Anglia. The cathedral was destroyed during the Norman Conquest and the stones were used to build other structures in the village. Today, visitors can explore the ruins and learn about the history of the cathedral and the role it played in the development of the region.

North Elmham is also home to a number of other historic buildings, including the 16th century North Elmham Hall and the 18th century Elmham House. The village has a strong sense of community and hosts a number of events throughout the year, including a summer fete and a Christmas market. With its rich history and picturesque setting, North Elmham is a charming village that offers visitors a glimpse into the past and a chance to experience the beauty of rural Norfolk.
