The village also boasts some fascinating historical links, for example, the famous author James Pattinson was born in the village and spent much of his life here. His novel, Dead Men Rise Up Never was set in the village and features a dramatic denouement by the weir on the River Thet close to East Harling church.

The historical novelist George MacDonald Fraser was based in the area during World War II and provides the setting for his story Mr. American - the tale of Mark J. Franklin from Nevada who comes to Norfolk in search of his family's roots.

The impressive church at Harling is linked with the Dutch painter Hans Holbein. For years, art experts have tried to identify the lady in Holbein's picture A Lady with a Squirrel and Starling (shown below). It is thought that she may have been Anne Lovell, the wife of Francis Lovell who inherited the family estate in 1542. Finally, from 1808 to 1814, East Harling hosted a station in the shutter telegraph chain connecting the Admiralty in London to its naval ships in the port of Great Yarmouth.
