Hevingham is a village and civil parish in the Broadland district of the English county of Norfolk. The village is located between the A140 and the B1149.

Hevingham is located 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Aylsham and 7 miles (11 km) north of Norwich.

The village name has Old English origins and is translated as homestead of the people of Hefa.

Archaeological evidence shows that the site of the village has been occupied since the Bronze Age. But there are much earlier signs of activity, a Mesolithic flint axe-head being the earliest archaeological find recorded, with several Neolithic flint axe-heads also being recovered.

There is evidence of Roman activity. A Roman iron-working site was found during ploughing and was subsequently excavated. Archaeologists also investigated pottery kilns in the parish in the 1950s. Five kilns were recorded. These produced cooking vessels and other pottery during the 2nd century. The names of two potters who worked at the site – INGENU and ESAMI are recorded on the stamps they used on their pottery. There are also extensive finds recorded from throughout the Saxon period.

In the Domesday Book, Hevingham is listed as a settlement of 50 households hundred of South Erpingham. In 1086, the village was part of the East Anglian estates of King William I, Walter Giffard and William de Beaufeu.

Another medieval settlement, named Rippon or Ripton, once stood in the parish but was likely abandoned due to the Black Death.

‘William White's History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk 1845’ described Hevingham thus:
