The village is listed in the Domesday Book of 1085 under the name of Benincham, and Bin(n)eham as a settlement of 65 households in the hundred of North Greenhoe. Binham was part of the estates of Peter de Valognes and featured two mills within the parish.
There are numerous 17th-century buildings within Binham which are all Grade II listed, including Chapel Corner, Manor Farmhouse and Ivy Farm. Between 2009 and 2023 a series of archaeological test pits were dug in the parish. The report was published in 2017.[citation needed]
On Wednesday 2 May 1990 General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark '70-2368' of the 492nd Tactical Fighter Squadron at RAF Lakenheath had an engine fire, from a fan disc failure, and crashed three miles south of Blakeney Point. Part of the aircraft went through a cottage roof.
The aircrew landed near Wighton.
The nearest railway station is at Sheringham for the Bittern Line which runs between Cromer and Norwich. The nearest airport is Norwich International Airport.
