Frettenham is a small, rural village in the district of Broadland, in the county of Norfolk, England, lying a few miles north of Norwich. Set amid rolling arable countryside and hedged lanes, it retains a compact village centre with a green and lanes that lend it a distinctly Norfolk character and make it popular for local walks and country living.
The community combines traditional farming roots with a commuter element into Norwich, and village life is marked by an active village hall, parish church and locally run events rather than large commercial activity. Historic features and well-preserved buildings hint at medieval origins, giving the place a quietly historic feel while remaining a close-knit rural community.
