History
Horsey's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin and derives from the Old English for horse island. In the Domesday Book, Horsey is listed as a settlement of 30 households in the hundred of Happing. In 1086, the village was divided between the East Anglian estates of Roger Bigod, William, Bishop of Thetford, Rolf and Almer, son of Godwin. Horsey Hall was built in the village in 1845. Horsey Windpump was a drainage pump built in 1912 by Dan England which was struck by lightning in 1943 which stopped it from working. 75 years later, the building was restored and reopened by the National Trust. The original pumping duties of the windpump are now the responsibility of the electric pumphouse built nearby.…
