Mileham is a village approximately midway between East Dereham and Fakenham in Mid Norfolk with a population of 563 people in 2011.

The village sits astride the B1145[2] Kings Lynn to Mundesley road that dissects Mid Norfolk west to east.

There are ruins of a Norman castle (now a nature reserve) near to the site of the Roman Camp and a church, St John the Baptist, with some rare stained glass windows.

The west window showing St. Catherine (wheel), St. John the Baptist (lamb) and St. Margaret (spearing dragon) is a rare extant example of stained glass of the decorated style.

Colours of green, gold, olive, amber, as well as red and blue distinguish the complex canopies and figures.

In the lower half of the window fragments of 15th-century glass include images of an unidentified female saint and St.

The positioning of the castle astride the road is thought to have been connected with raising revenue from a possible market place in the northern enclosure and from tolls on travellers.

Mileham Tower Windmill, was first recorded in 1860,it was built at the end of a long track to the southwest of the village.

However, it is not clear whether this was the actual case as in May 1973, G. Rye reported to Philip Unwin that the mill ceased working in 1924 and was dismantled soon after.

The remains of the medieval village of Grenstein were discovered in the 1960s under agricultural land north of Back Lane.
