  • 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.

Next meeting planned various parish councils for 18th August 2020.(Virtual) Item 1 - Connecting North Tuddenham – Lyng - Hockering at Poppy Wood Issues Without a connection from old Main Road in North Tuddenham into Hockering using part of existing A47, there will be no direct route between two villages. Situation complicated by amount of HGV traffic coming into North Tuddenham from Stone Road direction. High speed traffic coming from Lyng direction into North Tuddenham. Points raised • Traffic counting measures requested to quantify problem • T - junction to slow down HGVs • Speed limits - 40 mph preferred to 50mph. New houses on Main Road • Exiting Fox Lane on flyover - visibility • HGV traffic - direction / strategy wrt new NWL. Strategy to dissuade HGVs from cutting through from Industrial zone and Fakenham Road to exit here to Swaffham and beyond. • Potential opportunity for bus route from Dereham through Etling Green, North Tuddenham and Hockering into Norwich Minutes from Meeting No traffic surveys undertaken to date. Requests for the T-Junction to impede speeds of HGV traffic is still proposed in the plans at the present; James to advise Mike if subsequently removed.

Breckland Council Part 5 of 5 Applicant: Norfolk Vanguard Limited Document Reference: ExA; ISH; 10.D3.1E 2.5 Deadline 3 Date: February 2019 Photo: Kentish Flats Offshore Wind Farm D2: STANTA HEATH B6 B6 B7 E9 B7 E9 B6 A4 B7 F1 B7 E7 E8 B6 F1 F1 B6 A5 E6 D1 B5 E5 B5 B4 B4 A2 B4 B5 B8 E4 A3 B2 B3 E3 D2 D3 E2 B2 C1 A1 E2 E1 D3 B1 D2: STANTA HEATH Location and Boundaries D2.1 This area of the Breckland with Heathland and Plantations landscape type covers a large area in the southern and central part of the district. The character area is defined primarily by the distinctive land cover of arable fields interspersed with blocks of mixed plantation woodland and areas of heathland and grassland. It is bounded by the more continuous forest cover of Thetford Forest to the south, by the Wissey Valley to the west and by the Thet Valley to the east, with the elevated plateau landscape marking the northern extent. Key Characteristics • A gently undulating landscape with glacial drift deposits of sand, clay and gravel. Topography ranges from 20 – 55m AOD. • Free draining sandy soils support a functional landscape of arable cultivation and plantation woodland. • Large tracts of heathland and grassland survive within the extensive MOD land holdings at Stanford Training Ground (SSSI (SAC)), in the western half of the character area. • Groundwater dependent meres at East Wretham Heath and the Stanta Training Area are internationally significant – unique hydrogeological features fed by base- rich groundwater with no inflowing or outflowing streams.
