Horsham St. Faith is a small village and civil parish in the district of Broadland, in rural Norfolk, England, lying a few miles to the north of Norwich. It sits on the agricultural plain that surrounds the city, with a compact village core and surrounding arable land giving it a distinctly rural character while still being within easy commuting distance of the regional centre.
The village is perhaps best known for the Second World War airfield, formerly RAF Horsham St. Faith, which today serves as Norwich Airport together with associated business parks; that legacy shapes much of the local economy and landscape. There is also a medieval parish church dedicated to St Faith and a close-knit community with typical village activities and parish events that reflect its long local history and rural identity.
