Had 5 yrs living in west dereham, beautiful village, nice walks across fields,and lots of wildlife unfortunately not a lot else going for it, a very close knit, verging on clicky community! shame so much money was put into a village hall, which hardly got used, instead of other facilities. Would of liked to of seen west dereham 20 yrs ago when it had more life!
