In the meantime we have created a weekly on-line service which you can find on the church section of the Waylander. I would like to thank Joy Fernando, Bella Sandcraft and Karen Allen for helping to produce the service. If you have any names for prayers would you let me have them during the week. [email protected] or telephone them in 01760 627039. Revd Adrian Bell A Pastoral letter from the Bishop of Norwich to all clergy and churchwarden and those involved in church life. 12th January 2021 It is hugely worrying that the cases of Covid, along with admissions to hospitals and the tally of death, continue to rise in Norfolk and Waveney. The Chief Medical Officer, Professor Chris Whitty, said yesterday, "The most important thing is that people take the current rules very, very seriously. We shouldn’t do anything outside them, and in fact, even within them we should be doing our level best to minimise unnecessary contacts. That will help relieve the pressures in the next few weeks." As you will know, the Government currently allows worship with a congregation physically present in the church building. Whilst this is still permissible, it is increasingly becoming inadvisable. Around 90 per cent of our churches in the Diocese are not now having worship with a congregation physically present and many have moved back online for the coming weeks. Yesterday the Dean and Chapter took the decision, with a heavy heart, to do this at the Cathedral. I am grateful to all our churches for grappling with this question and making careful choices, but as the situation changes unfortunately we have to revisit these decisions. I would now strongly encourage all incumbents, churchwardens and PCCs not to have physically present worship (except funerals and urgent marriages) in the next few weeks. The risks are now too great, even with all of the precautions that we have so painstakingly put in place. I hope that as many church buildings as possible will remain open at some point during the week for the solace of individual prayer, following the guidance and after a risk assessment. Worship can still be streamed from church buildings and I would encourage that a minimum number of people who are involved with leading the service are present. Some places are pointing people to the online provision of neighbouring churches or to our diocesan Sunday Hope podcasts. In and through all of this I know that our ministry will continue to bring hope to many. Aelred, Abbot of Rievaulx (d. 1167), who we commemorate today, said, “The best medicine in life is a friend.” That should inspire us as we continue to care for the vulnerable, isolated and bereaved, and as we pray for all whose lives and livelihoods are impacted by this dreadful pandemic. In these ways we will show love to our neighbours in the coming weeks. I remain grateful for all that you do, and this comes more than anything with my continued prayers. + Graham Norwich 3 VICAR’S LETTER Sadly, we are not yet sure when churches will re-open for worship. However, along with many people in the villages I have had my first jab and hopefully people will feel safer in the future weeks. It has been a very worrying time for everyone. As we prepare for the rest of the year I aware of many couples either waiting to be married, or have their children baptised, and we will make sure that when the lockdown ends that these services are a priority. Also those families who have had a bereavement and sadly a private funeral service, may like to come to one of our churches for a Thanksgiving Service. In the future we will help in any way we can. There is no doubt that the church, along with so any areas of society has been deeply affected by the pandemic. The church that will emerge will see reduced clergy numbers and sadly some churches closing. However, along with the group churchwardens, I am using every effort I can muster to lobby those in authority to make sure that the Wayland Group not only has a weekly group service, but hopefully a regular parish priest. I can’t guarantee anything, but we will soon see. Yes, I am retiring in June from the Wayland Group, but just so you all know – I am not retiring as a priest. I was ordained a priest in 1972 in Sheffield Cathedral and priests never retire – I hope to follow John Le Mesurier of Dad’s Army, who left the message to his family and friends on his death, ‘I have just conked out’. Before that time, I think that the Diocese has a few ideas of what I might be getting up to! Watch this space. God bless, keep safe.

  • 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).

  • Stow Bedon Fuel Allotment Charity
    STOW BEDON FUEL ALLOTMENT CHARITY A SHORT HISTORY Introduction Information is very limited as regard the Stow Bedon Fuel Allotment, but from what is available, here is a short history. 1813 Enclosure Act During the 18th and early 19th centuries the enclosure movement took place and in this time the Stow Bedon Enclosure Act 1813 was passed by government. The Common land prior to this date was managed by communal exploitation and regulation, namely the church wardens and overseers to the poor. The Act replaced this by a system of private land management, but also made small allowances for the needs of the poor. At the time of the Acts construction, the churchwardens lay claim to 60 acres of land for the poor to cut fuel. In the final Act this was reduced to 30 acres. The 1813 Act set Trustees the power to regulate cutting of fuel or let grass, of which profit would from time to time be laid out by them in purchasing fuel, to be distributed amongst the poor. The first Trustees included; the Lord of the Manor, the Vicar, Churchwardens and Overseers of the poor of Stow Bedon. The Site in 1813 and Early Management There is very little documentation of this period, but from what there is, a reasonable picture can be deduced. Before the 1813 Act was made, the commons of the parish of Stow Bedon were regulated by the churchwardens and overseers to the Poor. A memorandum of 6th October 1773, written in the back of the overseers account book, states that “no firs shall be sold off any of the commons belonging to Stow Bedon for two years and no brakes shall be made till the day after the Hingham Fair, which happens in October”.

  • 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.
