Although the history of Brundall can be traced back 6,000 years, it wasn’t until the arrival of the railway in 1844 that it became a place of any significance.
By 1891 it had merged with neighbouring Braydeston, there having been a very tortuous boundary between the two villages. Even so the population was only 347. See below for some historic buildings, and click here for a walk through the village to see some interesting homes.
