Sparham

Sparham

Sparham is a small rural village situated just of the Fakenham Road near Lyng, in Norfolk. Community facilities include: a Church (St. Mary's) and the "Old School Room" - a venue that can be hired by residents and where local events take place.

St Mary's Church in Sparham had a notable modern stained glass window installed in March 2008. The window, by Emma Blount, depicts the Tree of Life.

Sparham is one of the highest points in Norfolk, and the top of the church tower gives stunning panoramic views for miles around.
