[6] During the medieval period the land was split between two manors, one at Blundeston Hall and one owned by the Gonville family.

Peto sold the hall following his bankruptcy at the end of the 1860s and by the 1880s it was owned by Richard Henry Reeve, a prominent local landowner.

[17][18] The font and alter from the ruined St Andrew's church in Flixton were moved to Blundeston after it was destroyed in the Great Storm of 1703.

[28] The character David Copperfield in the Charles Dickens novel of the same name was born at "Blundestone" and a number of local landmarks are referenced in the novel.

[29] Road names such as Copperfield Terrace and Dickens Court reference the novel and on the village sign David is pictured looking towards the church.

The Plough Inn has a plaque over its entrance that says "Barkis (the Carrier) from the novel David Copperfield by Charles Dickens, started from here"[21] Media related to Blundeston at Wikimedia Commons
