Shouldham is a small village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. Set in a rural landscape on the edge of west Norfolkâs low-lying countryside, it sits close to the smaller hamlet of Shouldham Thorpe and is surrounded by farmland, lanes and pockets of wood and heath typical of the area.
Historically centred on agriculture, the village retains a traditional feel with a parish church of medieval origin, a village hall and scattered cottages, while many residents now commute to nearby market towns such as King's Lynn or to larger centres like Norwich. Local life tends to be community-focused with occasional events, walking routes and an interest in conserving the surrounding rural landscape.
