History
Ketteringham's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin and derives from the Old English for the homestead of Cytra's people.[1]
In the Domesday Book, Ketteringham is listed as a settlement of 38 households in the hundred of Humbleyard. In 1086, the village was divided between the East Anglian estates of Roger Bigod and Ranulf Peverel.[2]
Ketteringham Hall was originally built in the Sixteenth Century which was extensively remodelled in the Nineteenth Century after a devastating fire. The house is an example of Gothic Revival architecture and is now in the ownership of Lotus Cars.[3]
Geography
According to the 2021 census, Ketteringham has a total population of 180 people which demonstrates an increase from the 178 people listed in the 2011 census.[4]
St. Peter's Church
Ketteringham's parish church is dedicated to Saint Peter and dates from the Thirteenth Century. St. Peter's is located on Church Road and has been Grade II listed since 1959.[5] The church holds Sunday service once a month.[6]
St. Peter's holds various carved memorials to the various families who have lived in Ketteringham Hall as well as a set of medieval stained-glass roundels.[7]
Governance
