Dereham Withburga is a ward in the market town of Dereham, within the Breckland district of Norfolk, England. It covers part of the town centre and nearby residential streets, sitting in mid‑Norfolk north‑west of Norwich. The ward takes its name from the early medieval saint Withburga, reflecting Dereham’s long history as a market settlement with medieval origins and pockets of historic architecture and conservation areas.
Locally the ward combines shops, civic services and housing, with a mix of independent traders and small businesses that sustain a town‑centre economy; many residents commute to Norwich or work in local light industry and public services. Cultural life is lively for its size, supported by community groups, seasonal events and nearby heritage attractions such as the Mid‑Norfolk Railway and local museums that celebrate Dereham’s past.
