Shropham is a small village and civil parish in the Breckland district of Norfolk, England, set amid the arable farmland and pockets of woodland typical of the Breckland countryside. It sits a short drive from market towns such as Attleborough and Wymondham and is roughly 15 miles south‑west of the city of Norwich, making it a quiet rural community within commuting distance of larger centres.
The parish contains a scattering of historic houses and farmsteads reflecting medieval and later agricultural history, and village life still revolves around farming, local events and the landscape. The surrounding Breckland habitats give the area a distinctive ecology and appeal to walkers and wildlife enthusiasts, while many residents now combine village life with work in nearby towns and the city.
