  • 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.

  • South Norfolk CGR Jan 2017 V4
    2017/18 Community Governance Review 1 South Norfolk Community Governance Review 2017 - 2018 A review of all of the parishes in the South Norfolk district; to ensure that community governance for the district continues to be effective and convenient; and reflects the identities and interests of the community. A Review can improve community engagement, build more cohesive communities, create better local democracy and more effective and convenient delivery of local services 2 Why undertake a Review now? Government guidance states that it is good practice to conduct a full Community Governance Review every 10 to 15 years. The last full Community Governance Review in South Norfolk was undertaken in 2002. What kind of Review has to be done? Reviews have to take into account guidance issued under S.100(4) of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 by the Secretary of State and the Local Government Boundary Commission for England in March 2010. 3 From the current Government guidance: “A community governance review offers an opportunity to put in place strong, clearly defined boundaries, tied to firm ground features, and remove the many anomalous parish boundaries that exist in England. Reviews also offer the chance to principal councils to consider the future of what may have become redundant or moribund parishes, often the result of an insufficient number of local electors within the area who are willing to serve on a parish council.” 4 The Terms of Reference Section 81 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Heath Act 2007 requires the Council to publish a Terms of Reference document for a Community Governance Review.

  • The Origins of Geldeston Lock: Act (2) 1656-1670 Let’S Get Rich by Digging! Read the Story All the Way Through
    The origins of Geldeston Lock: Act (2) 1656-1670 Let’s get rich by digging! Read the story all the way through. If there are words you don’t know look them up in a dictionary. Then think about the questions and make up your play. The sources of the Waveney and the Little Ouse rivers are North sea less than 100m apart, at Redgrave/Lopham - eight km west of Diss. The Waveney flows east into the sea at Great Kings Yarmouth, and the Little Ouse flows west and eventually Lynn Great into the sea at Kings Lynn. Norfolk Yarmouth It isn’t possible to go by boat from one river to the other, but they are separated by less than 100 metres. Suffolk In the 1660s Francis Matthew has the idea of creating an inland waterway for boats, to run all the way from Yarmouth to Kings Lynn. He wants to dig out the channels of the River Waveney and the Little Ouse and link them together where they both begin. He thinks: He presents the plan to Oliver Cromwell in 1656. Oliver Cromwell is the leader of the Army that set up Parliament and cut off the head of King Charles I. Cromwell is very busy with very important things. Nothing happens. He tries again in 1670. By this time England has a king again, as well as a Parliament. He presents the plan to King Charles II. A bit happens. Why only a bit? The whole plan is far too expensive and too difficult, but one part of it does get done.
