Marsham is a village and civil parish in Broadland, Norfolk, England, set on slightly higher ground amid the low-lying agricultural landscapes that fringe the Norfolk Broads. The settlement has a discernible historic core with a medieval church and a mix of flint, brick and timber cottages; its name and setting reflect the long relationship between settlement and drained marshland. Its countryside character is punctuated by hedgerows, arable fields and quiet lanes rather than heavy industry.
Life in Marsham remains largely rural and community‑centred: farming still shapes the local economy while many residents commute to nearby towns such as Norwich. Village amenities and occasional fetes, church events and walking routes keep a steady social pulse, and the parish attracts visitors who appreciate its tranquillity and proximity to Broads waterways and Norfolk’s wider heritage landscape. Conservation of historic buildings and the surrounding countryside is a notable local priority.
