Know About East Dereham : Dereham, also incorrectly known as East Dereham, is a town and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. There is some confusion caused by the use or non use of the East in the town name, especially to "newcomers" to the town, who find the signs that mostly still state "East Dereham" rather misleading. Perhaps it is time for the East to be dropped completely, as was decided officially by the town council in approximately 1990. It is situated on the A47 road, some 15 miles (25 km) west of the city of Norwich and 25 miles (40 km) east of King's Lynn. The town should not be confused with the Norfolk village of West Dereham, which lies about 25 miles (40 km) away.
