Herringfleet

Herringfleet is a small village on the River Waveney, between Somerleyton and St. Olaves in Suffolk, England within The Broads National Park.

Herringfleet was occupied by the Roman Empire, and archaeologists have made a number of finds, including a Roman bronze 'patera', a 'soup ladle' vessel with the maker's name 'Quattenus' on the handle, and a Roman nether mill-stone of trachyte, originally imported from Saxony or Koblenz on the Rhine.

There is also evidence of a Saxon manor house on the site of the present-day Manor Farm.

In the Middle Ages, Herringfleet was governed by the Priory at St. Olaves.
