Town sign

Detail of village sign; it stands in a corner at the western boundary of the shared churchyard of St Michael's and St Mary's church, facing the Market Place.

Reepham is an attractive Georgian market town which has had its status since 1277; by the 18th century the Reepham brewery was established and the market was supported by a maximum of thirteen public houses. Three churches share the same churchyard: Reepham's church of St. Mary is joined by its choir vestry to St. Michael’s (facing the Market Place, once serving the parish of Whitwell), and a third church, burned down in 1543) that belonged to Hackford. Only a fragment of the tower wall remains. Many of the buildings around the Market Place retain the wattle and daub, flint and brick and clay lump of even earlier buildings, many of which were rebuilt in Georgian and Victorian times. Reepham is a significant stop on the Marriott's Way cycle and footpath. Link
