StalhamStalham is a market town in the English county of Norfolk. It lies in the Norfolk Broads, about 15 miles north of Norwich. Its population in 1998 was 3,040. Through the 1960s Stalham suffered from a reduction of the agricultural labour force as a result of improvements in agricultural technology. Beginning in the 1970s, though, housing developments attracted people who took up residence in Stalham but worked elsewhere. The 15th-century St. Mary's parish church has a rare 15th-century font which has survived because it was buried during the Civil War to prevent its destruction by Oliver Cromwell's forces.
