History
Emneth's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin and derives from the Old English for Eana's meeting place or meadow.
Emneth is not featured in the Domesday Book of 1086, probably because in the late-Eleventh Century this area of Norfolk was still flooded.
Emneth was the site of Hagbeach Hall, a medieval manor house demolished in 1887.
Emneth Railway Station opened in 1848 as a stop on the Bramley Line between Watlington and Peterborough railway station. The station closed in 1968 as a result of the Beeching cuts, however, the railway infrastructure still remains as a private residence. Today, the nearest railway station is at Downham Market for the Fen Line between King's Lynn and Peterborough.
