Marsham is a small village and civil parish in the district of Broadland in Norfolk, England. Set on the edge of the low-lying agricultural landscape that borders the Norfolk Broads, it has a typically rural Norfolk character; its name likely derives from Old English meaning "marsh homestead" and it lies within easy commuting distance of Norwich, which shapes a mix of traditional farming and commuter households.
The village retains a strong sense of community centred on its parish church and local facilities, and benefits from nearby outdoor attractions such as boating, birdwatching and seasonal walks across the Broads. Historically agricultural, Marsham’s economy is still largely shaped by farming but also by tourism and people working in nearby towns, and village events and landscape conservation remain important to local life.
