There were SAMs at West Raynham from the mid-1960s to 1991. Intially this was 41 Sqn, later 85 Sqn. Both had the Bristol Bloodhound Mk2.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_West_Raynham

Edit: Wikipedia shows 2 separate Bloodhound periods, and also shows that Rapier SAMs were present for a while. Thw Wiki link has the details.
