Buxton is located between Norwich and Aylsham and is separated from Lamas by the River Bure. In 2021 it had a population of 1295. History Buxton is of Anglo-Saxon and Viking origin and derives from an amalgamation of Old English and Old Norse for a settlement either named for 'Bucca' or deer. In the Domesday Book, Buxton was recorded as a settlement of 34 households in the hundred of South Erpingham. The principal landowner was Ralph de Beaufour. In 1931 the parish had a population of 490. On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished to form "Buxton with Lammas". Buxton Watermill has stood in the village in some form since before the Domesday Book and was last rebuilt in 1754 by the local merchant, William Pepper. Nearby Dudwick Park is listed building and was built for John Wright, a Quaker banker, in the Eighteenth Century. Wright's charitable donations to the village resulted in the construction of what is now Buxton Primary School and an institution for young offenders where the Rowan House currently stands. By the Nineteenth Century, Dudwick Park had passed to the Sewell family, another Quaker family, who further extended the village school and, in 1927, funded the construction of the Village Hall. In 1937, the house was passed to Percy Briscoe, a tea-planter from Ceylon, who significantly remodeled the exterior. The village was home to a workhouse during the Eighteenth Century due to the provisions of the English Poor Laws. The foundations of the building still exist on the Buxton-Horstead Road.
