Northrepps history

---

Northrepps was named Norhrepes and Norrepes in the Domesday Book. The main tenant was William de Warenne. The survey shows that the value of the parish was reasonably low.

19th century

Northrepps Parish was owned by three landlords by 1881. John Henry Gurney Sr was the principal owner, Lord Suffield was lord of the manor and Samuel Hoare, Lord Templewood was the third. The manor was governed by the Suffield family from 18th-century Gunton Hall in the parish of Hanworth, 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south of Northrepp village.

The Foundry

The village once had a foundry, best remembered for developing the Gallus plough in 1830. This design of plough was widely used well into the 1920s. There is an example of the plough on display in the parish church.

Smuggling

The village once had a gang of smugglers, whose leader allegedly was a member of the Summers family. Local folklore tells of the time that his gang tied up the chief ‘prevention’ officer to a post. A local woman called Sally Bean, who lived in a cottage on Shucks Hill, was an ally of the smuggling ring.
