There is evidence of a Roman camp in the village and Anglo Saxon pottery has also been found. Archaeological excavations have also found evidence of an Anglo Saxon cemetery which may have been associated with a second church in the village.[4]
Fillingham Castle is a castellatedmansion built in 1760 by Sir Cecil Wray.[2] A nearby stone manor house was built about a century before.
