The villages name origin is uncertain perhaps, 'upland wood'.[3]
Trunch never had any rail connections in the village itself but it does have a rail map outside of its pub. Before the 1960s one could go to the next village along (Knapton) to catch a train to Cromer or North Walsham from Paston & Knapton railway station (M&GN) to catch a train. Now the nearest stations are Gunton and North Walsham.
