A thousand years or more, the village of Mareham Le Fen was a beach some twenty-five feet above sea level and when the Saxons settled there they called it ‘Marum’ - the home by the water. By the time of Edward the Confessor (1042-1066) they had already built a little church as the focus of their settlement. The oldest surviving domestic building appears to be the Royal Oak Inn.
