[1] Earsham Mill has stood in some form in the village since the time of the Anglo-Saxons, using the River Waveney to grind wheat into flour.

The hall was remodelled in the Georgian style by Sir John Soane and exists today as a venue for wedding receptions and antiques dealing.

[5] During the Second World War, parts of the abandoned airfield and Earsham Hall were used as bomb storage for the United States Army Air Forces.

Inside the church, is a Medieval font depicting the seven sacraments and the crucifixion of Jesus as well as stained-glass from Europe and roundels from the workshops of Robert Allen and Samuel Yarrington.

The village's national constituency is Waveney Valley which has been represented by the Green Party's Adrian Ramsay MP since 2024.
