History
[ edit ]
East Rudham's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin and derives from the Old English for 'Rudda's' homestead or village.[1]
Several Iron Age and Roman artefacts have been found close to East Rudham, and there is further evidence to suggest a small Roman settlement was based on the modern village.[2]
In the Domesday Book , East and West Rudham are recorded together as a settlement of 67 households in the hundred of Brothercross. In 1086, the village was divided between the East Anglian estates of Alan of Brittany , William de Warenne and Peter de Valognes .[3]
During the Second World War , a starfish site was created on nearby Coxford Heath designed to draw Luftwaffe bombers away from King's Lynn .[4]
In 2016, several test pits were dug by the University of Cambridge around the parish.

East Rudham's church is dedicated to Saint Mary and was rebuilt in the mid-Nineteenth Century in the Perpendicular style after the tower collapsed into the Nave . St. Mary's font pre-dates the church and is dated 1852.[6]
