History
High Kelling's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin and derives from the Old English for the higher part of Cylla's people.[1]
In 1957, the remains of a Roman building were discovered in Kelling which were excavated by students at Gresham's School.[2] Furthermore, several hoards of Roman coins have been discovered by metal detectorists.[3]
In the Domesday Book, Kelling is listed as a settlement of 81 households in the hundred of Holt. In 1086, the village was part of the East Anglian estates of Hugh d'Avranches, Roger, son of Rainard and Ralph, son of Hagni.[4]
Between 1903 and 1905, Home Place was built as the residence of the Reverend Percy R. Lloyd by Edward Schroeder Prior in the Arts and Crafts Style.[5]
During the First World War, several practice trenches were dug on Kelling Heath for the purposes of troop training.[6] During the Second World War, the heath was used for training exercises by the United States Army Air Forces.[7]
The heritage railway of the North Norfolk Railway known as the "Poppy Line" runs from near-by Sheringham via Weybourne to Holt.
