Wereham is a small village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in rural Norfolk, England. It sits on the edge of low-lying fenland a few miles south of Downham Market and within easy reach of the market town of King's Lynn, giving a quiet, agricultural character dominated by arable fields, drainage ditches and wide skies.
Historically modest in scale, the village retains older cottages and a parish church at its heart and an active local community that revolves around a village hall and seasonal events. The local economy remains largely agricultural, though many residents commute to nearby towns; the area is also popular with walkers and those interested in rural history and birdlife on the fens.
