History
Brundall's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin and likely derives from the Old English for a small area of dry land with an abudance of broom.[2]
In the Domesday Book, Brundall is recorded as consisting of 70 households belonging to King William, Bishop William of Thetford and Gilbert the Bowman.[3]
In 1874, Brundall was the location of the Thorpe rail accident, a major head-on collision between two railway locomotives which resulted in the deaths of 25 people.
In 1898, the boatbuilder, Brooms of Brundall, was established. This company has built high quality watercraft and operated water tours on the Broads for over one hundred years and is still in operation.[4]
Geography
The civil parish has an area of 4.39 km2 and in the 2001 census had a population of 3,978 people in 1,681 households, increasing to a population of 4,019 in 1,765 households at the 2011 Census.
For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of Broadland. As in other broadland villages, the land lying directly adjacent to the river falls into the executive area of the Broads Authority.
Transport
The village is served by Brundall and Brundall Gardens railway stations, which are both on the Norwich to Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft Wherry Lines.
St. Lawrence's Church
Brundall's Parish Church is a tower-less church dating from the Thirteenth Century and is dedicated to Saint Lawrence. Furthermore, St. Lawrence's is home to East Anglia's only lead church font and the stained-glass windows were created by Clayton and Bell and Charles Eamer Kempe.[5]
