East Raynham

East Raynham is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Raynham, in the North Norfolk district, in the county of Norfolk, England.

East Raynham is located 4 miles (6.4 km) south-west of Fakenham and 24 miles (39 km) north-west of Norwich along the course of the River Wensum.

East Raynham's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin and derives from the Old English for the eastern portion of 'Regna's' homestead or village.

In the Domesday Book, East and West Raynham are listed together as a settlement of 33 households in the hundred of Brothercross. In 1086, the village formed part of the East Anglian estates of King William I, Roger Bigod and Reginald, son of Ivo.

In 1731, Raynham, named after Raynham, Norfolk, was incorporated into the State of Massachusetts.

On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished to form Raynham.

In 1931 the parish had a population of 130. This was the last time separate population statistics were collected for East Raynham as in 1935, the parish was merged to form Raynham.

East Raynham is located on the course of the River Wensum and the A1065, between Mildenhall and Fakenham.
