Governance

For Westminster elections Marham forms part of the South West Norfolk constituency, represented by Elizabeth Truss (Conservative).

Religion

Holy Trinity Anglican church 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.^[4]

Marham Methodist church joins with the Anglicans for some of its services.^[5]
