It has the remains of a
motte and bailey castle, on the Horsford side of the A140, reached by following a track to the north of Church Street, which joins Horsford and Horsham St. Faith.
On 17 October from the early 12th century until 1872 it played host to one of the country's largest cattle fairs. This fair was held to the south of Spixworth Road around Bullock Hill and Calf Lane.
At the beginning of the
20th century, the Manor House and the land that in 1939 became RAF Horsham St. Faith, was owned by John Thomas
Spurrell, youngest son of Richard James Spurrell, of
Thurgarton. Inside the church at Horsham St. Faith there's a memorial to his eldest son, John Francis Brabazon Spurrell, who was killed by
buffalo at Kibaya,
Tanganyika, in 1927.
