Before the draining of the marshes towards Great Yarmouth, Reedham was a coastal village which included a Roman lighthouse. Fragments of Roman brick and stone can be found in the local church.[citation needed]
King Edmund of East Anglia is said to have lived here. The Fastolf family, whose most celebrated member was Sir John Fastolf, are recorded here from the 13th century.[3]
The civil parish includes a significant area of nearby marshland, together with the famously isolated settlement of Berney Arms. It has an area of 4.81 sq mi (12.5 km2) and in the 2001 census had a population of 925 in 406 households, increasing to a population of 1,207 in 505 households at the 2011 Census. For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of Broadland.[4]
Reedham Ferry, a chain ferry just outside the village, is the only road crossing point on the River Yare between Norwich and Great Yarmouth. The railway line between Norwich and Lowestoft crosses the river on Reedham Swing Bridge. Reedham railway station, which serves the village, gives connections to Norwich, Lowestoft, and Great Yarmouth (via Berney Arms).
Polkey's Mill is a derelict grade II* listed windpump dating from about 1880.[5][6]
