Promoting Dereham's History & Heritage

Welcome to Dereham Heritage Trust

Founded in 1953 as the Dereham Antiquarian & Archaeological Society, we have evolved into an enthusiastic and diverse group of people with a shared interest in the history of Dereham and the surrounding areas. We wish to improve our own knowledge and understanding of how Dereham came to be what it is now, and share it with others. We believe that this will make Dereham a more enjoyable place to live, work, and visit.
