Norfolk County Council is in charge of roads, some schools, and social services, and the county councillor for the Gayton & Nar Valley division is Graham Middleton (Conservative) since 2017.

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]
