  • May 2019 Newsletter.Key
    Ryston Park Newsletter May 2019 By Pam Taylor Broad Bordered Bee Hawk Moth ( First sighting for me) We have been blessed with some great weather for playing golf. The course has enjoyed the rain of late, and it is looking really good. The greens are running good and true and most of the fairways have a good bit of grass on them, so shots into the greens are easy (I still cant get them right though!). We now seem to have competitions every week, so there’s always plenty to play for. One of the highlights of the season is the upcoming Club Championship, which will be held on the 23rd of June. For those of you who have not played it, it is a 36 hole medal in one day with cups for both scratch and handicap scores. More importantly, there will be sandwiches and chips on offer in the clubhouse after 18 holes. I intend to be playing this, which did not seem possible in the winter when I was exhausted from having chemotherapy. I would love to see a big entry list - I hope lots of you can take part! The most important thing for all of us is to enjoy the golf we play, and play in a style that respects others. Enjoy! Club Captain Nigel Wagg Nigel Wagg Club Captain So much to say about the month of May that I hardly know where to start! Here are just some of the highlights: On Friday 10th May, I was very privileged to be at Hunstanton to watch Tiffany Mills and Ann Fletcher playing in the County Championships.

  • Pick of the Churches
    Pick of the Churches The East of England is famous for its superb collection of churches. They are one of the nation's great treasures. Introduction There are hundreds of churches in the region. Every village has one, some villages have two, and sometimes a lonely church in a field is the only indication that a village existed there at all. Many of these churches have foundations going right back to the dawn of Christianity, during the four centuries of Roman occupation from AD43. Each would claim to be the best - and indeed, all have one or many splendid and redeeming features, from ornate gilt encrusted screens to an ancient font. The history of England is accurately reflected in our churches - if only as a tantalising glimpse of the really creative years between the 1100's to the 1400's. From these years, come the four great features which are particularly associated with the region. - Round Towers - unique and distinctive, they evolved in the 11th C. due to the lack and supply of large local building stone. - Hammerbeam Roofs - wide, brave and ornate, and sometimes strewn with angels. Just lay on the floor and look up! - Flint Flushwork - beautiful patterns made by splitting flints to expose a hard, shiny surface, and then setting them in the wall. Often it is used to decorate towers, porches and parapets. - Seven Sacrament Fonts - ancient and splendid, with each panel illustrating in turn Baptism, Confirmation, Mass, Penance, Extreme Unction, Ordination and Matrimony. Bedfordshire Ampthill - tomb of Richard Nicholls (first governor of Long Island USA), including cannonball which killed him.

  • 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.
