NOTES ABOUT OXBOROUGH, NORFOLK Where the earliest known Bassetts of the Bassetts of Norfolk line lived in the 18 th Century . OXBOROUGH, also known as OXBURGH , is a parish and village, 3 miles N.E. of Stoke Ferry and 6½ miles S.W. of Swaffham Norfolk,England. In 1854 it comprised 293 inhabitants, 58 houses, and 2,317 acres of land, all the property of Sir H. R. P. Bedingfield , Bart., of Oxborough Hall. The hall is surrounded by a moat, and is one of the most perfect specimens of ancient castellated mansions in England. It dates from the latter part of the 15th century. The entrance is over a bridge (formerly a draw bridge) through an arched gateway, between two towers 80 feet high. The archway between the towers is supported by groins, and over it is a large room with windows to the north and south. The interior walls were covered with tapestry. Henry VII. is supposed to have satyed there when he visited Oxborough. Oxborough was a place of note in Roman times, and it is considered to be the Iceani of Antoninus, supposed to be at Ickburgh . In 1252 the manor was held by Ralph de Wygarnia, who had a patent for a weekly market on Tuesday, and a yearly fair. The fair was still held for horses and cattle on Easter Tuesday in 1854. Sir Henry Bedingfield of Oxborough Hall was made governor of the Tower of London during the reign of the Catholic Queen, Mary, and had the charge of her sister Elizabeth, who, on ascending the throne, dismissed him from court, saying "whenever she had a state prisoner who required to be hardly handled and strictly kept she would send for him." He was confined to the tower for nearly two years and died in 1655 when his estates were sequestered for his adherence to the cause of Charles I.. Ultimately they were restored to his successor, who was created a baronet in 1660. The C HURCH , dedicated to St. John the Evangelist, was a large Gothic edifice with a tower surmounted by a lofty octagonal spire 156 feet high. It was thought to have been founded about the reign of Edward I. .

Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office
Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom. The digital images were produced as a result of partnership projects with other groups and organizations, so we are not able to supply copies of whole registers (either as hard copies or on CD or in any other digital format), although in most cases we have permission to provide printout copies of individual entries.

Champion Personal Piety or Priestly Persuasion: Evidence of Pilgrimage Bequests in the Wills of the Archdeaconry of Sudbury, 1439-1474 By Matthew Champion, Heritage Consultant and Project Manager, MJC Associates Despite the complex contemporary arguments surrounding the legitimacy of pilgrimage as a concept, it is clear that during the later Middle Ages popular pilgrimage was an accepted and acceptable part of the lay religious experience. Whilst serving a number of personal functions, from the highly spiritual search for enlightenment to the provision of "holy day" entertainment, the physical and religious act of pilgrimage has become the subject of an entire discipline of study.
