The Vicarage Adjoining St Mary's church; the view was taken from the churchyard. Parts of this brick and flint house with a thatched roof date from the 16th century. Martham has always been a large and busy village with (presently) a post office, a couple of pubs, a supermarket and a variety of other shops, doctors surgery, pharmacy and more than 30 businesses, three schools, a public library, a large playing field with skate park and multi games area and two duck ponds. In 1300 CE the village had a population of about 1,000, and during the Middle Ages Martham provided the monks in Norwich with wheat, barley and peat. C19 directories list a great number of farmers, fishermen, craftsmen and tradesmen such as grocers, butchers, tailers, drapers, shoemakers, basket makers, wheelwrights, joiners, blacksmiths, millers, brick makers, bricklayers, thatchers, glaziers, wherrymen and watchmakers. Most of the bricks seen in older houses were made locally and are of similar appearance, texture and colour. The village green > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/853060 is surrounded by C18 houses, some thatched; a fair and general marked used to be held here on the last Tuesday and Wednesday of July. http://www.martham.gov.uk/

Usually stay here, rooms are nice with the odd fault from time to time. Would be nice if they had bottles of water in the room.
