HistoryFlixton Priory was founded in the 13th century. The ruined remains of the moated priory are located to the south of the village near to Abbey Farm. These include sections of wall, earthworks and fishponds.[4]The substantial Flixton Hall provided one of the backdrops for the 1947 children's film The Secret Tunnel, before being demolished in the 1950s.{{citation needed|date=January 2013}} RAF Bungay was located at Flixton. The World War II airfield was built in 1942 as a base for bombers of the United States Army Air Forces' Eighth Air Force. At the end of the war the airfield was used as a prisoner of war camp and then by the RAF as a bomb store until its closure in 1955. Some areas of the airfield remain, including parts of a taxiway and a war memorial dedicated to the 446th Bombardment Group, nicknamed the Bungay Buckeroos, which was based at Bungay from November 1943 until the end of the war.[5] The Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum is located in the village today.
