The available archaeological, historic, and topographic information indicates that there are no designated or non-designated heritage assets on the study site. The site has the potential for as yet to be discovered archaeological assets of a local significance and therefore falls within the scope of Policy BE17. In these circumstances, it can be anticipated that the planning authority’s archaeological advisor will require an archaeological evaluation of the site. CgMs Limited © 3 SG/17097 Archaeological Desk Based Assessment Land at Chapel Street, Rockland St Peter 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF STUDY 1.1 This archaeological desk-based assessment has been prepared by Suzanne Gailey of CgMs Consulting on behalf of Bowbridge Land Ltd. 1.2 The assessment considers land at Chapel Street, Rockland St Peter, Norfolk. The site, also referred to as the study site, is 0.76ha in extent and is bounded to the north by Chapel Street and houses fronting onto Chapel Street, to the east by houses fronting onto Chapel Street and to the west and south by agricultural land. The site is centred at National Grid Reference TL99029739 (Fig 1). 1.3 In accordance with government policy, National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), this assessment draws together the available archaeological, historic, topographic and land-use information in order to clarify the archaeological potential of the site. 1.4 Additionally, in accordance with the ‘Standard and Guidance for Historic Environment Desk-Based Assessments’ (Institute for Archaeologists 1999, revised 2012), the assessment includes an examination of published and unpublished material and charts historic land-use through a map regression exercise. A site inspection was undertaken in April 2014. 1.5 As a result, the assessment enables relevant parties to assess the significance of archaeological assets on and close to the site, assess the potential for hitherto undiscovered archaeological assets and thus enable potential impacts on assets to be identified along with the need for design, civil engineering or archaeological solutions. CgMs Limited © 4 SG/17097 Archaeological Desk Based Assessment Land at Chapel Street, Rockland St Peter 2.0 PLANNING BACKGROUND AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN FRAMEWORK 2.1 In March 2012, the government published the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), this was supplemented by Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) in March 2014. 2.1.1 Section 12 of the NPPF, entitled Conserving and enhancing the historic environment provides guidance for planning authorities, property owners, developers and others on the conservation and investigation of heritage assets. Overall, the objectives of Section 12 of the NPPF can be summarised as seeking the: x Delivery of sustainable development x Understanding the wider social, cultural, economic and environmental benefits brought by the conservation of the historic environment x Conservation of England's heritage assets in a manner appropriate to their significance, and x Recognition that heritage makes to our knowledge and understanding of the past. 2.1.2 Section 12 of the NPPF recognises that intelligently managed change may sometimes be necessary if heritage assets are to be maintained for the long term. Paragraph 128 states that planning decisions should be based on the significance of the heritage asset and that level of detail supplied by an applicant should be proportionate to the importance of the asset and should be no more than sufficient to review the potential impact of the proposal upon the significance of that asset. 2.1.3 Heritage Assets are defined in Annex 2 of the NPPF as: a building, monument, site, place, area or landscape positively identified as having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions. They include designated heritage assets (as defined in the NPPF) and assets identified by the local planning authority during the process of decision-making or through the plan-making process. 2.1.4 Annex 2 also defines Archaeological Interest as a heritage asset which holds or potentially could hold evidence of past human activity worthy of expert investigation at some point. Heritage assets with archaeological interest are the primary source of evidence about the substance and evolution of places, and of the people and cultures that made them. 2.1.5 A Designated Heritage Asset comprises a: World Heritage Site, Scheduled Monument, Listed Building, Protected Wreck Site, Registered Park and Garden, Registered Battlefield or Conservation Area. CgMs Limited © 5 SG/17097 Archaeological Desk Based Assessment Land at Chapel Street, Rockland St Peter 2.1.6 Significance is defined as: The value of a heritage asset to this and future generations because of its heritage interest. This interest may be archaeological, architectural, artistic or historic. Significance derives not only from a heritage asset’s physical presence, but also from its setting. 2.1.7 In short, government policy provides a framework which: x Protects nationally important designated Heritage Assets (which include World Heritage Sites, Scheduled Ancient Monuments, Listed Buildings, Protected Wreck Sites, Registered Parks and Gardens, Registered Battlefields or Conservation Areas) x Protects the settings of such designations x In appropriate circumstances seeks adequate information (from desk based assessment and field evaluation where necessary) to enable informed decisions x Provides for the excavation and investigation of sites not significant enough to merit in-situ preservation. 2.2 In considering any planning application for development, the planning authority will be mindful of the framework set by government policy, in this instance the NPPF, by current Development Plan Policy and by other material considerations. 2.3 The Breckland District Council Core Strategy was adopted in December 2009 and contains the following relevant Policy: Policy DC 17 HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL AFFECT A LISTED BUILDING OR A CONSERVATION AREA WILL BE SUBJECT TO COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT. NEW DEVELOPMENT WILL BE EXPECTED TO PRESERVE AND ENHANCE THE CHARACTER, APPEARANCE AND SETTING OF CONSERVATION AREAS, SCHEDULED MONUMENTS, HISTORIC PARKS AND GARDENS AND OTHER AREAS OF HISTORIC INTEREST. WHERE A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL AFFECT THE CHARACTER OR SETTING OF A LISTED BUILDING, PARTICULAR REGARD WILL NEED TO BE GIVEN TO THE PROTECTION, PRESERVATION AND ENHANCEMENT OF ANY FEATURES OF HISTORIC OR ARCHITECTURAL INTEREST. THE CONVERSION OF BUILDINGS OF PARTICULAR ARCHITECTURAL OR HISTORIC MERIT FOR ECONOMIC OR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES IN LOCATIONS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE UNACCEPTABLE WILL BE CONSIDERED WHERE THIS WOULD ENSURE THE RETENTION OF THE BUILDING. PROPOSALS WILL BE CONSIDERED AGAINST RELEVANT GUIDANCE INCLUDING NATIONAL POLICY ADVICE (CURRENTLY PPS7 & PPG15) AND SPECIALIST PUBLICATIONS SUCH AS ‘ENABLING DEVELOPMENT AND THE CONSERVATION OF SIGNIFICANT PLACES’ PRODUCED BY ENGLISH HERITAGE. SITES OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL INTEREST AND THEIR SETTINGS WILL BE PROTECTED, ENHANCED AND PRESERVED; DEVELOPMENT WHICH HAS AN UNACCEPTABLE IMPACT UPON A SITE OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL INTEREST WILL NOT BE PERMITTED. WHERE IT IS CONSIDERED APPROPRIATE IN CASES CgMs Limited © 6 SG/17097 Archaeological

  • Descendants of William Falke

    Descendants of William Falke

    Descendants of William Falke Generation 1 1 1. WILLIAM FALKE was born about 1390 in Pr. Worlingham, Suffolk, England. He died between 20 Feb-05 Mar 1455 in Great Worlingham, Suffolk, England. He married AGNES. Notes for William Falke: William Falke of Worlingham, Suffolk, England is the first known ancestor of the line leading to the Fauxes who are found in large numbers in the area between Thetford and Norwich in Norfolk County from the mid 1500s. It is probably unproductive to speculate about earlier generations. The most that can be said is that it is probable that the family originated in the area and simply disappears into the mists of Medieval time. It is tempting to seek continuity back to Norman times. The first recorded instance of the name Falc or variant is in the "Ship Lists" of the Conquest in 1066. Here one finds, in the Wace contemporary list, "e cil qui est siree d'Alnou". This village is Al(u)nou - le - Faucon, on the Orne River south of Caen near Argentan. The first recorded Seigneur here is "Fulk I d'Aunou" (see Elizabeth Van Houts, 'Wace as Historian', in "The History of the Norman People", Glyn S. Burgess (Ed.), 2004, Boydell Press, Woodbridge, Suffolk, p.L). The Domesday Book of 1086 lists only one Falc, an under tennant at Bradford, Suffolk - although there are more individuals with the name Fulk (Falk and Fulk and their derivatives Falkes and Folkes are frequently used for the same individual). The British Archives site also shows 13th Century examples where the name is for example Robert Le Falke (1284), and others where Henry Faulkes is also known as Henry fliius Falcasiis, and Henry FitzFalk (1307).

    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.

Minor changes were made to this account by Linda Moffatt on 25 July 2017. DATES • Prior to 1752 the year began on 25 March (Lady Day). In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. • Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. For an individual born after 1837, where only a baptism date is given, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter but the exact date of birth is not presently known.

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.

    Free Church Registers and Related Records in the Norfolk Record Office

    Free Church Registers and related records in the Norfolk Record Office Introduction This is a summary of the Norfolk Record Office's holdings of Protestant free or Nonconformist church (i.e., non-Anglican) registers and records of birth/baptism, members and death/burial. The coverage is county-wide but incomplete, because non-Anglican churches are under no statutory obligation to lodge their records with any local or national archive (except in the case of marriage registers from 1837 onwards). We also hold microfilm copies of Nonconformist registers held by The National Archives. These are indicated in the list with the catalogue reference TNA. Arrangement This summary is arranged alphabetically by place, then by denomination and then by any known chapel name or street location. Free churches whose holdings do not include registers are not included. In the case of the Methodist Church, the circuit (a group of churches served by a shared ministry), rather than the individual society or church, deposits records, and so the entry in this list represents the title or name of the circuit. Early (pre-twentieth century) Methodist registers were circuit records and, typically, would include references to members of all the constituent churches in the circuit. Unfortunately, the exact number and identity of the churches within each circuit changed as the circuits coalesced, divided and, later, reunited, and it is sometimes difficult to pinpoint the correct circuit register to search. The covering dates do not conceal any gap greater than two years except where indicated by '(gaps)' where the breaks in the sequence are too frequent to represent in a summary.

  • APPEALS SUMMARY- MAY 2019 3PL/2018/ 0539/F ( Greenpiece

    APPEALS SUMMARY- MAY 2019 3PL/2018/ 0539/F ( Greenpiece, Attleborough Road, Great Ellingham, NR17 1LQ) Erection of 3 detached dwelling houses and associated detached garages DISMISSED The Inspector considered that the main issues were (i) The principle of the proposed development with regard to its location. (ii) The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area with specific regard to the setting of the Listed Building. (iii) The effect of the proposed development on ecology and biodiversity and (iv) Whether the proposed development would be at an unacceptable risk of flooding. In terms of the principle of development. The dwellings would be located between Atlleborough and Great Ellingham. Whilst both of the above settlements have sufficient facilities to be able to meet the needs of incumbent residents, they are located some distance from the appeal site and accessed along an unlit main road that does not have segregated footways. The occupiers of the proposed development would rely on the use of a private car to access services as well as employment. This is the least sustainable option. In terms of impact on the character and appearance of the area and setting of the Listed Building. Whilst not finding harm to the setting of the listed building, this would not be sufficient to reduce that which would be the case to the character and appearance of the area and would conflict with Policies DC1 and Dc16 of the Local Plan. With regard Ecology and Biodiversity the main issues of concern related to insufficient information available to make a judgement on the likely effects of the proposed development.
