Reepham's three-in-one churchyard is overlooks the market place. Churches sharing churchyards is not that uncommon; one needs to consider the difference between a parish and its town or village; we also need to consider the medieval functions of a parish church, which were Roman Catholic churches. | Reepham's three-in-one churchyard is overlooks the market place.

In Reepham three parish boundaries occupy the same site but each served different areas. The adjacent parishes were Hackford (now ruined) and Whitwell .It is one of only two places in Europe to have three churches on the same site. The lost church of Hackford burned down in 1543 but the remains are still evident as the remanant of a tower wall remain on the site approaching the Market Place from the churchyard.<br> | In Reepham three parish boundaries occupy the same site but each served different areas.
