NR29 Guide Martham has always been a large village. The Saxons settled here nr29guide.co.uk/ about AD600 and gave the village its name. The name is a combination of the Old English word ‘mearth’ meaning marten, and “ham” meaning “home”. These cream-coloured ferret-like pine martens were found wild in Broadland marshes until about a century ago.
