The village's name origin is uncertain 'Edge enclosure' or perhaps, 'Randi's enclosure.'
The 16th-century Church of St Helen, known as 'the Cathedral of the Broads',[1] has a fine 15th century painted rood screen and a rare Antiphoner. It is a Grade I listed building.[2] From the top of Ranworth church's 100-foot (30 m) tower one can see many of the broads and rivers, as well as the Happisburgh lighthouse.
