    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.
  • Six Circular Cycle Routes Starting from Thetford

    Six Circular Cycle Routes Starting from Thetford

    Six Circular Cycle Routes Starting from Thetford Base map cartography (c) OSM Foundation, CC BY-SA. Map data (c) OpenStreetMap Contributors, ODbL. Thetford Town Circular (10km; town roads and cycleways) A 10km circular route around the town. Mostly on quiet roads and smooth off-road cycleways. There is one 200m section on the A1066, where you could walk along the pavement instead, and one rough section along Joe Blunt’s Lane. High Lodge Loop (25km; quiet roads and forest tracks) From the centre of Thetford, follow Sustrans Route 30 on quiet roads north via Croxton to Santon Downham, then take forest tracks to the High Lodge Forest Centre. Return to Thetford via forest tracks and then alongside the Little Ouse river. Harling Road Loop (33km; quiet roads, one short busier section) From Thetford, take Sustrans Route 13 north to East Wrethem, then cut across via Illington to Harling Road Station. Continue via Roudham to Bridgham, and then return to Thetford along Sustrans Route 30. The route is completely on tarmacked roads. There is one slightly busy section of about 1.5km on the B1111 down to Harling Road. Barnham and Knettishall Loop (40km; quiet roads, one off-road section) Leave Thetford on the new cycleway alongside the A11, and then take the C633 to Barnham. Continue east to Knettishall Heath, and then return following Sustrans Route 13. It’s awkward to get to the start of the A11 cycleway from the town centre, as there is no cycle path along most of London Road. The route is all tarmacked apart from a 2km off-road section along Bridgham Lane.

This 105 million year old geological deposit also occurs deep under Breckland - this specimen, with a fossil ammonite, came from a water transfer tunnel near Mildenhall. The Devil’s Punchbowl is a large circular basin south of the ‘Drove Road’ in Croxton and has been explained as a solution feature in the Chalk bed-rock. Exploring Breckland Changes of ground water level in the underlying Chalk cause water to rise to give a small lake in the Punchbowl or fall to give dry bed (illustrated). Breckland lies across the western borderlands of Suffolk and Norfolk. Its unique character is defined by its geology as shown by this GeoSuffolk trench on Knettishall Heath Suffolk Wildlife Trust Reserve. The white chalk-rich area in the foreground contrasts with the brown sand in the far end of the trench. These separate soils form large-scale patterned ground, evidence of our periglacial heritage – permanently frozen Discover Answer a sub-soil during the Ice Age. The exact nature of such processes in chalk land continues to Scientific exercise inquisitive minds. Chalk as a Clarke’s Breckland Question Breck district became Breckland in the Naturalists Journal in 1894. Its author was Wm. George Clarke (1877-1925), born in Yorkshire, but of Thetford parents. He married Building Stone Miss Holden of Thetford and he is said to have shaved with a flint implement found near Brandon.
