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

For Westminster elections Marham forms part of the South West Norfolk constituency.

Religion

Holy Trinity Church of England parish church is a Grade I listed building.[4] 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.[5]

Marham Methodist church joins with the Anglicans for some of its services.[6]
