About

Dereham Central & Toftwood forms the primary residential and commercial core of the Mid Norfolk market town. The area centres on the historic market place and the parish church of St Nicholas. Norwich Street and the High Street provide the main retail thoroughfares, with a mix of independent shops and national chains serving the local community. Residential streets of Victorian and Edwardian terraces radiate from this centre, gradually giving way to more modern housing developments.

To the east, the district extends into Toftwood, a largely residential suburb characterised by post-war and newer estate housing. The area is anchored by several schools and local convenience stores. A notable feature is the Dereham Windmill, a restored five-sailed tower mill standing near the town's recreation grounds, which offers views over the surrounding Breckland landscape. The railway station, on the Breckland Line, provides a direct link to Norwich and Cambridge.
