Parish History[edit | edit source]
HORNING, a village and a parish in Tunstead district, Norfolk. The village stands on the river Bure, 5½ miles NNE of Brundall. [1]
Horning St Benedict is an Ancient parish in the Diocese of Norwich and includes Holme and Cowholme.
Parts of the church hint at earlier churches on the site as far back as the 13th century but the church today was a result of Victorian renovation.
In the heart of the Norfolk Broads and one of the pleasure boating centres of tourism Horning is a popular church.
Horning was once called Horningham and means the "folk who live on the high ground between the rivers". Its history dates back to 1020 when the manor was given by King Canute to the newly founded Abbey of St Benet. In 1642 Horning was sold to a London merchant, who felled 400 acres of oak woodland, known as Horning Great Wood. In 1658 Horning was sold again, this time to a London haberdasher. In 1660 came the Restoration of the monarchy and the Bishop took control. To this the day, the Bishop of Norwich as Abbot of St. Benet's is still Lord of the Manor.
