Background
History
Litcham's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin and derives from the Old English for the enclosure homestead. In the Domesday Book, Litcham is listed as a settlement of 46 households in the hundred of Launditch. In 1086, the village was divided between the East Anglian estates of King William I and Hermer de Ferrers. From the Fourteenth Century, Litcham Priory stood in the village which served as a hermitage. Today, the medieval stonework has been incorporated into a farmhouse. In the Eighteenth Century, a windmill stood in Litcham.
