History
The placename "Quidenham" is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as "Cuidenham", and means "Cwida's ham or village". The name "Cwida" corresponds to the Old High German name "Quito". There is a local tradition that Queen Boudica or Boadicea is buried in Quidenham. On 1 April 1935 the parish of "Quidenham" was abolished and merged with Eccles, the parishes of Hargham and Wilby were also merged with Eccles at the same time. At the 1931 census (the last before the abolition of the parish), Quidenham had a population of 125. On 16 May 1956 Eccles parish was renamed to "Quidenham". In 1974 it became part of the non-metropolitan district of Breckland. ==References==
