We are seeking to appoint an evangelical man or woman to be Team Vicar with primary responsibility for Cloverfield Community Church. The area of Cloverfield was developed in the 1990s and Cloverfield Community Church was planted in 1992 as a partnership between the Church of England and the United Reformed Church to serve this new community. The church meets in the purpose-built Cloverfield Church and Community Centre which also functions as the hub for many community groups and activities. This profile describes who we are looking for in our new Team Vicar, as well as what we can offer to you, and describes our churches and communities in more detail. Thank you for your interest in the post; please contact us if you would like any further information (see page 19). 3 Our New Team Vicar We are excited to see who God will call to be our new Team Vicar, serving alongside committed lay people in a friendly, caring and lively church family at Cloverfield Community Church, as well as with the churches and communities across the rest of the benefice.

In Medieval times it was one of the largest and most influential towns in England. Centuries of gradual decline were turned around in the second half of the 20th Century when Thetford was adopted as one of the London overspill towns, with several large housing estates being built on the edges of the quiet market town. This growth continued into the 21st Century, including the development of Cloverfield, where the church is situated. Cloverfield is a pleasant development of approximately 1650 houses (predominantly private housing) which added a greater variety of housing stock than the earlier periods of expansion. The town’s growth will continue over the next few years through the Kingsfleet development, adjacent to Cloverfield, with a further 5000 houses planned with associated schools, employment and leisure areas. Prior to expansion the population of Thetford had dwindled to around 5,000 people. By the end of the London overspill programme in the 1980s the population had risen to 21,000, making it the fastest growing town in the country. Population is currently estimated at around 25,000 including a large number of recent migrants from Russia, Poland, Slovakia, and Portugal, drawn mainly by the abundance of agricultural work in the area.

  • 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.

  • Response of Croxton and Brettenham & Kilverstone Parish Councils To
    Response of Croxton and Brettenham & Kilverstone Parish Councils to Independent Examiner’s Clarification Note – May 2018 Croxton and Brettenham & Kilverstone Joint Neighbourhood Plan Response of Croxton and Brettenham & Kilverstone Parish Councils to Independent Examiner’s Clarification Note. Policy JNP1 I can see that the policy extends across the Plan area. Nevertheless, might its clarity be improved if it made a clear distinction between development within the SUE and that elsewhere? Parish Council Response: This policy is specifically aimed as a general design policy that can be as easily applicable both inside and outside of the SUE. The elements it covers are relevant to development both inside and outside of the SUE and therefore putting those aspects together in one policy reduces the need for repetition in policies. Policy JNP4 is a policy specifically covering issues only relevant to the SUE. The Parish Councils are also mindful that an outline permission for the SUE is in place and that Policy TH20 of the Thetford Area Action Plan (TAAP) already sets out the strategic design principles for the SUE and therefore this does not need repeating in the JNP. The important element for us in this policy is that where new development edges are to be created that they are sufficiently soft to enable their sensitive assimilation into the countryside e.g. through the use of planting and landscaping If the Examiner is minded to make a clear distinction between the two we would not object provided this point is not lost. In the first paragraph what is the ‘relevant’ settlement? Do you mean Croxton, Brettenham and Kilverstone? Parish Council Response: Yes.

A first draft of the document was the subject of a 6 week informal public consultation period between 29th October 2016 and 30th November 2016. All comments received as a consequence of that consultation have been assessed and changes made to the document as appropriate. 1.2 A table summarising these consultation responses can be found on the Joint Neighbourhood Plan website. http://c-bandkjointplan.norfolkparishes.gov.uk/ 1.3 It is intended that this Character Appraisal will be a piece of evidence used to support the policies in the emerging Joint Neighbourhood Plan (JNP) which covers both parishes. 1.4 The Appraisal was initially informed by the Survey work undertaken in July, August and September 2016 by Parish Councillors and local residents. Other sources of information include Parishioners’ own recollections and photographs, data from Norfolk Heritage Explorer, Norfolk Historic Environment Record, parish archives and information from Natural England and Historic England data sets.
