Dereham, also known as East Dereham, is a town and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It is situated on the A47 road, about 15 miles west of the city of Norwich and 25 miles east of King's Lynn.
For the purposes of local government, Dereham falls within, and is the centre of administration for, the district of Breckland. The town Dereham should not be confused with the Norfolk village of West Dereham, which lies about 25 miles (40 km) away.
The railway arrived in Dereham when a single track line to Wymondham opened in 1847. In 1848 a second line, to King's Lynn was opened. In 1849 a line from Dereham to Fakenham was opened, this line being extended to the coastal town of Wells-On-Sea by 1857. In 1862 the town's railways became part of the Great Eastern Railway. The town had its own railway depot and a large complex of sidings, serving local industry. In 1882 the line between Dereham and Wymondham was doubled, to allow for the increasing levels of traffic.
The railway between Dereham and Wymondham has been preserved, and is now operated as a tourist line by the Mid-Norfolk Railway Preservation Trust. This charitable company also owns the line north towards County School railway station, it has started to gradually reopen the line towards North Elmham and aims to eventually relay the line to Fakenham.
The town of Dereham lies on the site of a monastery founded by Saint Withburga in the seventh century. A holy well at the western end of St Nicholas' Church supposedly began to flow when her body was stolen from the town by monks from Ely, who took the remains back to their town. Notable buildings in the town include the pargetted Bishop Bonner's Cottage, built in 1502, the Norman parish church, a windmill which was extensively renovated in 2013 and a large mushroom-shaped water tower. The Gressenhall Museum of Rural Life is nearby. The town also hosts the headquarters of the Mid-Norfolk Railway, which runs trains over an 11.5-mile railway south to Wymondham, as well as owning the line 6 miles north to North Elmham and County School Station.

Windmills of Leicestershire: Wymondham Windmill
This video documents the windmill at Wymondham in Leicestershire as it looks today. Me and my sister have had a lifelong interest in tall and interesting buildings such as windmills, and aim to continue to go round many of the windmills in the region and other counties in England. This windmill I visited with my girlfriend at the time.
Wymondham Mill was built from local ironstone and topped with brick, built around 1810. It has an ogee cap and fantail. Originally with six patent sails, known as a Six Arm Lincolnshire Cross. The Mill ceased grinding corn (by then, powered by an engine) in 1952 but continued with cattle feed until 1960. It is one of only four six-sailed windmills remaining in the country and is now a grade 2 listed mill. In 1985 Nigel Moon – miller and owner of Whissendine Windmill in Rutland was instrumental in the restoration as it was Nigel who rebuilt the cap of the mill bringing it to 2016 and the next phase of restoration. New owners purchased the property in 2011 and would one day hope to see the sails restored. Since buying the mill they have replaced the rotten front doors and purchased 45 litres of lime mortar for the internal walls, paid for by the kindness of visitors to the Windmill using the donation box near the mill entrance. In the next few years they intend to replace all 11 windows to the original design allowing for more light to enter the tower and to make it water tight, replace damaged stone, redress the outer stone walls, repair and paint the cap, and replace the fan tail enabling the cap to rotate as it was designed to do.
