Governance

Marham is a parish of the Kings Lynn and West Norfolk district council, which is responsible for the most local services.

Religion

Holy Trinity Church of England parish church is a Grade I listed building. It dates from Norman times and has a Norman doorway. Since its original design, each part of the building has been reconstructed. The doorway has a single-scallop shaft on each side. The semi-circular arch is high enough to allow the tympanum within to be filled with a checkered "lozenge" pattern.

Marham Methodist church joins with the Anglicans for some of its services.
