Foulsham is a small village and civil parish in the district of Broadland in Norfolk, England, set in the county’s characteristic patchwork of arable fields, hedgerows and lanes. The village retains a traditional feel with flint and brick cottages, a village green and a longstanding parish church, reflecting a history that stretches back through the medieval period.
Locally notable is the nearby wartime airfield, often referred to as RAF Foulsham, whose remains and memorials attract interest from military history enthusiasts. Today the economy is largely agricultural with a mix of small businesses and residents who commute to larger centres such as Norwich, and the village maintains an active community life centred on its hall, pub and occasional village events.
