Brundall History

This English riverside village does not lack history, character, and charm. Its history traces back almost 6000 years to the Roman settlers who founded this riverside village. They originally named this village Brindisi. The Romans took advantage of the riverside location and turned it into a busy boating centre. Brundall still serves the same purpose today. Brundall is home to St Laurence Parish church, which dates back to the 13th Century. This parish church has a fascinating history of its own. The residents of Brundall have renovated this building over the years to preserve it.

It wasn’t until 1844 that it regained significance with the arrival of the railway. Brundall has two railway stations, including the original 1844 train line. In 1891, the railway line merged with Braydeston. Visitors can now use Brundall and Brundall Gardens stations on the Lowestoft Wherry Line and Norwich to Great Yarmouth.

Where Is Brundall

Situated along the north bank of the River Yare, across from Surlingham Broad, Brundall is approximately 12 miles from Norwich International Airport.
