History
Briningham's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin[1] and is recorded in the Domesday Book as a settlement of 35 households in the hundred of Holt which was part of the estates of Alan of Brittany and Bishop William of Thetford.[2]
Bellevue Tower thought to be the remains of a smock mill built in 1721 on the orders of Sir Jacob Astley.[3] Briningham Hall was built in 1838 in the Greek Revival style.[4]
Geography

The B1110, between Holt and Dereham, runs through the village. The nearest railway station is at Sheringham for the Bittern Line which runs between Sheringham, Cromer and Norwich. There is an abandoned railway line which is considered as a footpath, it runs parallel with an old track "the lane" that leads up to Bellevue Tower.

The building is Grade I listed.[6] The church has stained glass depicting the ascension of Christ by William Wailes (installed 1862) and another depicting Saint Cecilia and Saint Agnes by Alfred L.
