West Raynham is a small village in North Norfolk, Norfolk, England, tucked into gently rolling arable countryside that forms part of the wider Raynham parkland. It sits close to the historic Raynham Hall and Raynham Park, the long‑standing country seat associated with the Townshend family and famous in local lore for the “Brown Lady” legend.
The village retains a distinctly rural character with farming long at the heart of the local economy, now complemented by small businesses and some redevelopment on the footprint of the former airfield at RAF West Raynham. Social life is quiet and parish‑centred, with nearby market towns such as Fakenham and Swaffham providing most shops and services, making it a peaceful, historically rich pocket of North Norfolk, Norfolk.
