Historians believe that the original village was clustered around its Perpendicular church, St Margaret's Church, Felbrigg, in the grounds of Felbrigg Hall, a Jacobean mansion built in the early 17th century, a mile to the east of the present village.

In the church are 14th-century monumental brasses of Sir Simon de Felbrigge and his wife, the original Lord of the Manor here.[3]
