Yaxham is a charming village located in the heart of Norfolk, approximately two miles to the west of Dereham. Its name is derived from the Old English words "geat" (gate) and "ham" (homestead), indicating that it was once an important gateway between Norwich and the Fens. The village is steeped in history, with evidence of Roman occupation and Saxon settlements still visible today. In recent times, Yaxham has become a popular residential area due to its peaceful rural location which also provides easy access to amenities and transportation links. The village boasts a range of local shops, pubs, and restaurants within walking distance, while larger retailers and services are just a short drive away in Dereham. Yaxham also benefits from excellent transport connections via the nearby A47 dual carriageway and rail station with direct trains to Norwich also stopping here.
