[1] Nearby Stow Heath has evidence of Bronze Age round barrows and ring ditches at the confluence of the Skeyton and Blackwater Becks.

In 1086, the village was divided between the East Anglian estates of King William I, Roger Bigod and St Benet's Abbey.

[5] During the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, a Felmingham dyer named Geoffrey Litster gathered a group of rebels and attempted to march on Norwich.

The rebels were met by the forces of the crown, led by Henry le Despenser, Bishop of Norwich, at the Battle of North Walsham.

Le Despenser crushed the rebel force and captured Litster and the ringleaders of the rebellion, who were subsequently executed by method of Hanged, drawn and quartered.

St. Andrew's also features numerous examples of stained-glass windows with some salvaged from the demolished St. Philip's Church at Potter Heigham with further depictions of the Ascension and the Coronation of the Virgin installed by William Morris and Geoffrey Webb.

Felmingham has two war memorials: a wooden board in St. Andrew's Church[16] and a stone of remembrance in the churchyard which was created in 2018 by Nick Hindle and dedicated by Graham James, Bishop of Norwich.
