Great Hockham is a village in the English county of Norfolk within the civil parish of Hockham, though the distinction between village and parish may now be moot as there is evidence to suggest that the other village in the parish, Little Hockham, consists only of a farmhouse. [1]

The village lies 8 miles (13 km) north east of Thetford and 24 miles (39 km) by road south west from Norwich.

It is served by Holy Trinity church [2] in the Benefice of Wayland Group. [3]
