Bessingham is a village in the North Norfolk district of the English county of Norfolk. It lies 8 miles north-north-west of Aylsham and 5 miles south-south-west of Cromer.[1] It forms part of the civil parish of Sustead.

St. Mary's Church (previously known as St. Andrew's Church) is a round-tower church that was restored in 1869.

Bessingham Manor House was built in 1870 for the lord of the manor, Daniel Spurrell, but now stands derelict.[2]
