Background
History
Blickling's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin. It is listed in the Domesday Book as a settlement of 44 households in the hundred of South Erpingham. In 1086, the village was part of the estates of William the Conqueror and William, Bishop of Thetford. Adjacent to the hall is the Buckinghamshire Arms public house. The present building and barn were built in 1700, although an ale house was recorded in the early 17th century.To the west of the B1354 road is Silvergate a hamlet of estate cottages, some of which are thatched and Grade II listed.
