Erpingham is a small village and civil parish in North Norfolk, Norfolk, England, set amid rolling arable countryside typical of the area. The settlement keeps a compact village feel with a medieval parish church, scattered farms and traditional cottages, making it popular with walkers and anyone seeking a quiet rural base within easy reach of the coast and nearby market towns.
The name is tied to the medieval Erpingham family: Sir Thomas Erpingham, noted for his role at Agincourt, endowed the distinctive Erpingham Gate at Norwich Cathedral. Today the local economy is still largely agricultural, complemented by commuters travelling to Norwich and surrounding centres, while community life centres on the church, village hall and seasonal events that reflect the area’s agricultural rhythms.
