[1] The origin of the name "Felsham" is not clear, but one theory gives its meaning as Faela or "pleasant enclosure".

[3] Felsham was listed as Fealsham in the Domesday Book of 1086.

The church of St Peter serves the parish of Felsham.

The present church was largely built in the 14th and 15th century and has an impressive north porch.

Felsham was also the home of the Mudlen End Studio, which produced ceramic models of mainly cottages and dwellings from the local area.
