Local Government
For local government purposes, the two villages jointly elect the Buxton with Lammas Parish Council, and both fall within the area covered by Broadland District Council and Norfolk County Council. Lammas and Buxton together have a population of 1,695. Although Lammas is the smaller of the two places, it is historically a parish in its own right, and for centuries had its own Rector. Lammas has been united with the neighbouring hamlet of Little Hautbois since the 15th century. The village is a part of the Buxton Division of the district of Broadland, and the Aylsham Division of the County Council.
