HISTORY

There is evidence that shows Saham Toney is located close to a significant Romano-British settlement. Part of Saham Toney's name was derived from a 13-acre mere located in the parish. The mere is well stocked with fish and two species of eel, as well as large pike. However, the mere is privately owned but it's said to be as old as the last Ice Age. Although access is private, others can use the lake through special permission from the owner.

The Toney part of Saham Toney's name comes from Roger de Toni, the standard bearer of William the Conqueror as well as lord of the manor. He added his name to Saham, a Saxon word meaning “town of the lake.”
