Taverham is a village and civil parish in the district of Broadland, Norfolk, in England, sitting on the north‑west fringe of Norwich beside the River Wensum. Once a small agricultural settlement it expanded through the 20th century into a popular commuter community, yet retains a recognisable village core with local shops, a primary school and active community groups.
The area is noted for its historic paper mill on the River Wensum, the listed country house Taverham Hall and the medieval St Edmund's Church, while the local economy mixes small businesses, light industry and services for residents. Close to the rivers and wetlands of The Broads, it offers easy access to wildlife, walks and boating, and social life tends to revolve around sports clubs, village fêtes and volunteer organisations.
