Previously known in the 17th century as Brandon Way, Vicarage Road is one of the quieter roads in an already quiet village. Many of its older houses have front gardens, unlike many of the other properties within the village.
The Vicarage is Georgian and for many years was the home of the Spurgin family who entertained the local well to do with garden and tennis parties. The Spurgins have a number of stained glass windows dedicated to family members in Holy Trinity Church Hockham.
Vicarage Road is the home of Manor Farm, a property which hides its age by some Victorian brickwork and is an award winning Bed & Breakfast.
Home Hall (the first building on the right in the photo below) is the property that was extended and lived in by the local author Michael Home (Christopher Bush), in fact in his novel God and the Rabbit this house is affectionately referred to as 'Corners'.

West Farm now on the Western side of the A1075 was previously the site of a steam mill and in the 1800’s employed up to 70 men and Cherry Tree Farm on the Eastern side of the road was the home of the Bird threshing business and housed the large number of traction engines that Arthur Bird and his family were famous for.

Vicarage Road is one of the longest village roads albeit now bisected by the A1075 along its western side and continues to Puddledock and beyond, giving an insight into its former name.
