== History ==
Mentioned in the Domesday Book as ''Blafelda'' and ''Blauuefelde'', Blofield has a long history. There are a number of theories regarding the origins of its name, which may derive from the Anglo-Saxon for blue ''Blech'' or ''Bleo'', blossom ''Bloo'' or blow ''Blowan'', along with the word for field ''Feld''. The oldest building in the village is the Parish Church of St Andrew and St Peter, built sometime between 1420 and 1444,〔()〕 and largely replacing an earlier Norman structure. Large in size, it reflects the prosperity of the wool trade over this period.
