Hardingham is a
English county of Norfolk
.
It covers an area of 4 square miles (9.78 km) with a population of 274 in 110 households at the Breckland. The parish includes the hamlet
of Danemoor Green about one mile north-east of the main village.
An interesting fact about Hardingham is that a philanthropist opened a school nearby which gave local children a higher standard of education than was usual in a rural farming area. (date?)
The village is most notable for Hardingham railway station, a stop on the Mid-Norfolk Railway. It is a few miles away from the town of Wymondham, and roughly fifteen miles from Norwich.
The villages name means 'Homestead/village of Hearda's people'.
Watermill
The Eastern Daily Press, on 7 June 2012, reported that the watermill on the River Yare in Hardingham was deliberately set on fire in 1967 for the film The Shuttered Room.[3] The mill is shown on the village sign.
