Roger Bigod of Norfolk was the main tenant in chief of the manor in 1086 and it is likely that his descendants the Earls of Norfolk held the manor. The manor had 14 households in 1086 which would amount to between 56 and 70 people living there. Sir
Robert Hitcham (1572? – 1636),
Member of Parliament,
Attorney-General to
Anne of Denmark Queen Consort to
James I, and one-time owner of
Framlingham Castle was born in the village. He bequeathed the castle to
Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he had been educated, on his death. ==Geography==
