Yaxham is a small village and civil parish in the district of Breckland, in the county of Norfolk, England. It lies a few miles from Dereham and within commuting distance of Norwich, set in an agricultural landscape of arable fields, hedgerows and pockets of woodland.
The community retains a historic core with a medieval church and a number of traditional cottages, and local life centres on the village hall, church and seasonal events. There is also a local interest in railway heritage around the old station site, while the economy remains largely rural with farming alongside residents who commute to nearby towns.
