DEREHAM Nestled in the Brecklands, Dereham is a classic country market town with Georgian architecture and more recent developments.

In the eighth century, Anna, King of East Anglia’s youngest daughter, founded a nunnery and prayed for a miracle during a famine. Two deer appeared daily, providing milk.

When a huntsman tried to capture them, he was killed after being thrown from his horse, believed to be divine retribution.

This event is depicted on a town sign at the entry to Butter Market from the High Street.

Today, Dereham boasts a twice-weekly market on Tuesdays and Fridays, numerous independent shops, and free parking, making it a great spot for an afternoon browse.

Notable landmarks include the Mid-Norfolk Railway, running 1950s railcars to Wymondham Abbey, the Grade II listed Dereham Windmill, and Bishop Bonner’s Cottage, the oldest building in town, established in 1502.

Nearby attractions for heritage enthusiasts include Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse, Castle Acre Castle and Priory, and the National Trust property Oxburgh Hall, all within a short drive.

For dining, try Spice Fusion curry house or The George Hotel, Bar and Restaurant, known for its excellent accommodation, food, and award-winning drinks.
