Halvergate Hall was built in 1840 for Sir Cyrus Gillet.[3]
Stracey Arms Windpump was built in 1883 to drain water from the surrounding marshland into the River Bure. The mill ceased working in 1946 but was used as a fortified pillbox during the Second World War. The mill briefly operated as a tea room which closed in 2024.[4]
Mutton's Mill was originally known as Manor Mill but was eventually named after the last mill keeper, Fred Mutton.[5]
Halvergate's parish church is dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul and dates from the Fifteenth Century. The church is located within the village on 'The Street' and has been Grade I listed since 1962.[8] St. Peter & St. Paul's is no longer open for Sunday services.[9]
The church was renovated several times during the Victorian era, most notably in the 1870s by Richard Phipson. Despite this, there is still some surviving Fifteenth Century stained-glass windows.[10]
