Mileham is a small village and civil parish in the district of Breckland in rural Norfolk, England, set among arable fields a few miles from the market towns of Swaffham and Fakenham. The settlement keeps a distinctly historic feel, with a medieval parish church dominated by a tall flint tower and the earthworks of a well‑preserved Roman camp close to the village that draw in local historians and walkers.
Life in Mileham remains largely shaped by farming and small‑scale local trades, while community activities centre on the church, village hall and occasional village events; its quiet lanes, conserved buildings and surrounding countryside make it popular with those who come for history, rural tranquillity and outdoor walking.
