Sedgeford is a relatively small village in the North West coastal corner of Norfolk with a very long history. There is evidence of a settlement in the vicinity of Sedgeford for over years. Human remains and tools have been found dating from at least BC. All the early settlement was on the south side of the river which is the site of the Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research Project SHARP which has been excavating the sites of the various settlements since Around , settlement moved to the north bank of the river in the vicinity of the existing church of St Mary, which dates from the thirteenth century.
The size of the church is evidence of the importance of Sedgeford in Mediaeval times. The village has extended to the east since then, mainly in a linear fashion along the existing B, which runs between Heacham and Docking, but also in the twentieth century northwards along Ringstead Road.
Much of the village is included within the Sedgeford Conservation Area. The Peddars Way long distance footpath runs along the high ground towards the eastern edge of the Parish and National Cycle Route 1 also passes north- south through the village, along Ringstead Road and Snettisham Road. As a small village Sedgeford has relatively few services and facilities. The nearest shops are in Heacham 2 miles to the west.
Sedgeford Parish Council meets at the village hall on the third Wednesday of each month apart from August. Meetings are held at 7pm and always start with an open session for the public to come and share information and comments to the council.
