The Parish Church of Saint Nicholas
The market town of Dereham sits on the main road between Norwich and Kings Lynn.
The parish church is dedicated to St Nicholas, it is a large church and sits slightly west of the town centre, the church has a separate bell tower that was built in the early 1500's.
The main church is predominantly built in the Decorated and Perpendicular style but with some earlier Norman architecture.
The town lies on the site of a monastery said by local tradition to have been founded by Saint Withburga in the seventh century. The saint died in 743AD. A holy well, at the western end of St Nicholas' Church yard, supposedly began to flow when her body was stolen from the town by monks from Ely, who took the remains back to their town.
