If anybody would like to expand to this series please do. I would just ask that you let SmokeyPugs know first so they can keep track of the Village Sign numbers and names to avoid duplication.
Heacham has historic ties to Pocahontas, who married John Rolfe, a native of this village, on April 5, 1614 in Virginia. John Rolfe took his wife, Rebecca (Pocahontas), and their toddling son, Thomas, to visit his family at Heacham Hall in 1616. A year later, Rebecca died in Gravesend when John was going to return her to Virginia. She was laid to rest at St George's Parish churchyard. After that, John returned to Virginia with Tomocomo. Samuel Argall commanded the ship. Thomas was guarded by Lewis Stukley and later adopted by John's brother, Henry. John married Jane two years later. They soon had a daughter named Elizabeth. Perhaps John lost his life in the 1622 Indian massacre near Jamestown. The Rolfe family home, Heacham Hall, burned down in the early 1900s.
