Lamas, Norfolk

Lamas (also spelled Lammas) is a village in the English county of Norfolk, within the civil parish of Buxton with Lamas.

Lamas is located 4.5 miles (7.2 km) south-east of Aylsham and 9.8 miles (15.8 km) north of Norwich, along the River Bure.

Lamas' name is of Anglo-Saxon origin and derives from the Old English for loam marsh.

In the Domesday Book, Lamas is listed as a settlement of 3 households in the hundred of South Erpingham. In 1086, the village was part of the East Anglian estates of Ralph Beaufour.

Old Lamas Hall was built in the Sixteenth Century and is still a private residence, being recently renovated.

Lamas Hall, a separate building, was built in the late-Seventeenth Century and was expanded in the Nineteenth Century.

Lamas' church is dedicated to Saint Andrew and dates from the Fourteenth Century. St. Andrew's is located on Mill Road and has been Grade II listed since 1961. The church holds Sunday service once a month.

St. Andrew's was largely re-built and extended in 1881 and features a set of royal arms from the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
