Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ilBSTRAGT The Cromer Moraine forms a distinctive geographical region near the coast of the northern part of the County of Norfolk. A pro­ nounced characteristic of this region is the vridespread cover of heatb-land, far less extensive than in former times. This heathland appears in its turn to have developed from an original woodland cover which was destroyed by the depredations of man and his domesticated animals . It has been necessary first to delimit the region as accurately as possible and this has been accomplished by means of a detailed study of local topography and of well-sections. The earliest evidence of the location of heathland comes from tlie Domesday Survey and this has been confirmed by references to heathland in various other documents dovm to 1750. By the middle of the eighteenth century the new developments in agriculture^ or ’Norfolk Husbandry’ as it was called, became widely known and practised, resulting in this region in a greatly accelerated reclama­ tion of heathland; so that by the time of the Tithe Survey (183S-42) less than a hundred years later over 4000 acres of heath had been reclaimed.

  • A Walk of Two Midwives: a Circular Walk in North Norfolk
    A Walk of Two Midwives: a circular walk in North Norfolk Introduction This walk was inspired by a paper written by Julia Allison, a midwife historian and former General Secretary of The Royal College of Midwives, and I owe many thanks to her for additional information and her enthusiasm for the retrieval and safeguarding of the history of midwifery in the UK. [Please see Midwives of Sixteenth-Century Rural East Anglia, Rural History (2016) 27 (1), 1-19. DOI: 10.1017/S0956793315000138.] The walk begins and ends at the village of Binham, a few miles inland from the north Norfolk coast, and offers a glimpse into the world of Mistress Fiske, a midwife living at Binham, and Margaret Burwood, a midwife living in Wells, in the 16th century. The information below provides some context for the places on the route. Mistress Fiske Mistress Fiske (we do not know her first name) lived in a fair-sized house in Binham. Her husband was a farmer and saffron-grower. Saffron was an important commodity (used as a dye) and was grown widely across East Anglia. Their house had at least two floors and contained a hall, a saffron kiln, a parlour and a number of bedchambers. Julia Allison, citing the papers of Nathaniel Bacon (of whom more later), tells us that in 1599 Mistress Fiske attended, along with her servant, Mistress Calthorpe in Cockthorpe, the village immediately north of Binham. Mistress Calthorpe was the wife of Captain Calthorpe of the local militia. The walk will follow their likely route. Mistress Fiske’s brother-in-law was a ship builder and owner in nearby Wells-Next-The –Sea, where another midwife Margaret Burwood lived during the 16th century.

  • 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.
