ELMHAM-NORTH, (Norfolk) on the S. W. side of Repeham, and on the N. side of the Hier; though a small village now, was once a very considerable place; for, till within these 2 last centuries, it never was under any secular Ld. and was once the see of a Bp. jointly with Dunwich, before it was removed to Thetford, and thence to Norwich. Here was formerly a castle on a hill, from which there was a passage under ground to the altar of the Ch. K. Hen. VIII. gave the Lp. of this T. to the Ld. Cromwell, whose great grand-son sold it to Sir Edw. Coke; from whom it came to the Audleys. Near this place, in Feb. 1710-11, a great quantity of urns was discovered, which had generally nothing in them, but ashes, and pieces of broken bones.
