History
Its name came from Old English Swǣfa hām = "the homestead of the Swabians"; some of them presumably came with the Angles and Saxons.
By the 14th and 15th centuries Swaffham had a flourishing sheep and wool industry As a result of this prosperity, the town has a large market place. The market cross here was built by George Walpole, 3rd Earl of Orford and presented to the town in 1783. On the top is the statue of Ceres, the Roman goddess of the harvest.
About 8 km to the north of Swaffham can be found the ruins of the formerly important Castle Acre Priory and Castle Acre Castle.

Save Me
by: Neil DiamondHey I know
When the wind comes blowing across the meadows
It sings your name
And I've seen
The starry nights fall across the ghettos
It sings the same
And I feel
The light in your eye
And it's calling me
Stay, just a little bit longer
It burns
Like a fiery star
In the midst of the night
And it's pulling me under
Can anybody save me, save me
Save me from the storm
Save me, save me
Save me, 'fore I'm gone
I'm only a man
And a man's gotta break
There's a lot who can stand
But not a lot who can take
Save me
Something is taking me over
And there's no place that I can hide
Sweet dreams
My love and I by the edge of the river
Are feeling that glow
And we drink
Making love in the sand
And I love being with her
But I got to go slow
'Cause I know
Just as sure as the waves come beat on the sand
I'm a man who's divided
And one night
Burning hot with a kiss and I try to resist
But there's no way to fight it
Hey, can anybody save me, save me
Save me from the storm
Save me, save me
Save me, 'fore I'm gone
I'm only a man
And a man's gotta break
There's a lot who can stand
But not a lot who can take
Save me
Something is taking me over
And there's no where that I can hide
Won't you save me
Someone is making me love her
It's breaking me up inside
