Wretham

Wretham is a civil parish and village in the English county of Norfolk. The village, which is also referred to as East Wretham, is situated some 6 miles (10 km) north east of the town of Thetford and 25 miles (40 km) south west of the city of Norwich.ref|osexp1

The civil parish, which also includes the villages of Stonebridge and Illington, has an area of 32.25 km². In the 2001 census it had a population of 366 in 137 households. For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of Breckland. ref|osnncc

The village is located close to the British Army's Stanford Battle Area, and a proportion of the parish lies within the prohibited area of that infantry training area.

The proprietor of the Dog and Partridge local pub has gained publicity for his stance against smoking ban that was introduced into England and Wales in July 2007.
