Barnham Broom is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. The village is situated on the River Yare, 9 miles (15 km) west of Norwich.[1] and 4 miles (6 km) north-west of Wymondham.
The village's name means 'Beorn's homestead/village' or, perhaps, 'warrior's homestead/village'. The 'Broom' part was added in 1838.
The civil parish has an area of 7.24 km2 and in the 2001 census had a population of 552 in 220 households, increasing to 590 at the 2011 Census [1] and 670 in the 2021 census. For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of South Norfolk.[2]
At the centre of the village, on the crossroads, lies Barnham Broom Post Office & Stores, providing local services to the community and visitors, and a hundred yards further along Bell Road can be found The Bell public house.[2]
The school, Barnham Broom CofE VA Primary School,[3] is an 1847 flint building.
The parish council is made up of seven councillors and meets on the third Thursday of every month except August and December.[4]
1-mile (1.6 km) north-east of the village is Barnham Broom Hotel & Country Club, incorporating restaurant, two 18-hole golf courses, a leisure and fitness club and a hotel.
