[edit] History
A large hill fort abuts the village at the northwest, and the village church is built within it. This probably dates back to the Iron Age, but may be a remnant of the Danish invasion of the ninth century.
Tasburgh church was probably built around 1050 and is a traditional Norfolk Saxon church of flint with a round tower.
