History
The Domesday Book of 1086 contains one of the earliest recorded mentions of the village, at the time known as Belaga. Other records from around the time name it as Belihagh, Belaw, Bilhagh or Bilough, names based on combinations of Norse, Danish and Anglo-Saxon words that collectively mean 'a dwelling place by the water'.Belaugh St Peter
Belaugh St Peter is a Church of England church located at the top of a steep slope above the village. It was built in the 14th century and contains an ornate rood screen decorated with images of the apostles from the early 16th century. In the 17th century a Parliamentarian soldier scraped away the faces of the apostles. The font of the church is shaped in the Norman style as a cauldron made of a blue stone. The church organ was built between 1886 and 1904 by the Reverend George Buck, who was rector between 1880 and 1907 and son of Dr Zephaniah Buck, organist of Norwich Cathedral. George Buck also built church organs for Edingthorpe and Little Melton.John Betjeman stated that it was the view of St Peter's from the river that began his lifelong passion for churches.
