About

The Raynhams ward is a rural area in central North Norfolk, characterised by farmland and small settlements. It encompasses the villages of East and West Raynham, along with smaller parishes like Helhoughton and Tattersett. The landscape is predominantly agricultural, with fields and country lanes defining the area. The River Wensum flows through the western part of the ward.

The area is historically linked to the Raynham Hall estate, a notable country house. Scattered farmsteads and traditional Norfolk churches, such as St. Mary's in West Raynham, are focal points. The local economy is primarily based on agriculture and estate management. The ward's quiet character is distinct from the coastal tourism found elsewhere in the district.
