Parish History[edit | edit source]

REEPHAM (St. Mary), a market-town and parish, in the union of Aylsham, hundred of Eynsford, E. division of Norfolk, 12 miles (N. W. by N.) from Norwich, and 116 (N. E. by N.) from London; containing, exclusively of certain portions of the town in the parishes of Kerdiston, Hackford, and Whitwell. [1]

Reepham St Mary is an Ancient parish in the Diocese of Norwich and includes Kerdiston. Known as Reepham with Kerdiston it is the surviving church of 3 for Reepham.

The town is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 and is listed as Refham meaning the bailiff's or reeve's manor from the Old English gerafa (bailiff) and ham (homestead). Reepham has had market town status since 1277; a sign to mark this has recently been erected.

The Church memorials record  the Kerdiston family. The altar tomb to Sir William de Kerdiston is accompanied by a floor brass of Sir William and with his wife Cecily in brass on the chancel floor, pairs of 14th century figure brasses are rare.

Reepham has three churches on one sight two standing and the other ruined. 

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.

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 remnant of a tower wall remain on the site approaching the Market Place from the churchyard.

Reepham (pronounced "Ree-fum") is a small market town in the English, county of Norfolk, England. Situated on the B1145 road between the Bure and Wensum valleys. The town is 12 miles (19 km) north west of Norwich.
