Mileham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mileham is a village mid way between East Dereham and Fakenham in Norfolk.
The name Mileham comes from the presence of a Mill. It is a linear village in 'High Norfolk', and is a 'Conservation Village,' centered on Burwood Hall and The Castle.
There is a ruined Norman castle near to the site of the Roman Camp and a fine church St John the Baptist with some rare stained glass windows.
The village has a Primary school, Post Office/General Store and Village Hall. The Royal Oak public house stood in the village centre up until the early 1980s, but has since been converted into a private residence. Nearby is the source of the rivers Nar ( westerly flow) and Wensum ( easterly flow).
