History
In the Domesday Book, Haveringland is listed as a settlement of 22 households Hundred of Eynesford. In 1086, the village was part of the estates of Reginald, son of Ivo.[2]
In the Twelfth Century, an Augustinian Priory was founded in Haveringland, named for William of Norwich. There are no ruins of the Priory today.[3]
A pillory dating from 1804 still stands in the village,[4] but is not used for its intended purpose. In the Parish stood Haveringland Hall, built for Edward Fellowes, 1st Baron de Ramsey between 1839 and 1843. The House was requisitioned during the Second World War, and parts of RAF Swannington were built in the parish which was used by No. 100 Group RAF.[5] In 1947, after the end of the War, Haveringland Hall was demolished.[6]
