About

Dereham West sits on the western edge of Dereham town in Breckland, combining residential streets, local shops and the town’s market centre. The Mid-Norfolk Railway has its heritage terminus in Dereham, with the station and locomotive shed forming part of the town’s rail history. The parish church of St Nicholas and civic facilities are close to the high street, and community services, schools and sports grounds are scattered through the ward.

To the west lie the villages of Necton and Gressenhall set amid arable fields and hedgerows. Gressenhall is home to the Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse Museum, where a 19th‑century workhouse complex and associated farm buildings are preserved and interpreted to show rural life and labour.

The three places form a mix of town and village life within central Norfolk, with farming, local services and heritage buildings shaping the area’s character.
