History

[edit]

The name Fakenham is Saxon and has been interpreted as meaning "homestead of Facca", or "Fair Place"/"Place on a Fair River". Numerous arrowheads and flint tools found in the parish indicate occupation during Neolithic times. Two copper alloy socketed axeheads have been unearthed in Fakenham dated to the Bronze Age.[4] In 2015, a lead plaque was found near Fakenham dating to the Early Medieval period, and has been interpreted as having been used to overcome[clarification needed] an illness-causing dwarf based on its runic inscription.[5]

Before 1066 the manor of Fakenham was held by King Harold, before being taken by King William the Conqueror. The manor was relatively large, containing surrounding villages such as Pudding Norton and Thorpland. A number of Early to Late Saxon brooches, buckles, and pottery have been unearthed in the area. A Middle Saxon coin found in the parish is of the East Anglian king Beonna. A watermill was mentioned in Fakenham in the Domesday Book of 1086, but it was later demolished.[4]

In November 1297, Guy Ferre was recorded as the owner of Fakenham Manor, which King Edward I had given to him for life.[6] During the 13th century, the hamlet of Thorpland had 90 parishioners, but by the 16th century it had largely been depopulated, and today all that remains is the hall.[4]

Fires broke out in the town in 1660, 1718 and 1738, which destroyed or partly destroyed a number of buildings.[4] The 4 August 1738 fire destroyed 26 buildings in Fakenham.[7]
