The Sign
The village sign was erected in 1985 and depicts some interesting features: The aircraft is probably relating to the frequent overhead interference from RAF Honington; however RAF Barnham was active into the 1960's. The windmill has nearly gone but was built for the Duke of Grafton in 1821 and is now part of a private dwelling. The odd looking steam train recalls the days of The Bury and Thetford Railway Company which opened in 1876, with the last passenger departing in June 1953 before closing. Remains of the line earthworks can still be seen in the west of the parish. The sheep on the back of the train remembers the wealth of the area in the Middle Ages from the wool trade.

The Name and Population
The population was 606 at the 2011 census. The parish was known as Byornham from 975-1016, and Bernham in the Domesday Book. The name means "The warrior homestead or homestead of a man called Beorn", from Old English.
