LITCHAM Litcham is a small village between the market towns of Fakenham and Dereham.

The village has a pub, The Old Bull, a butchers and a post office/general store. There are two schools, a primary, and the very much in demand, Litcham High. There is also a 12th century church, All Saints, which was largely rebuilt in the early 15th century. Litcham is ideally positioned for the Norfolk coast with its miles of unspoilt coastline.
