  • 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.

    Kenninghall News Issue 202 July 2017 Those summer holidays I remember it so well I’m sure it didn’t rain When the sun shone all day We kept looking for clouds And we lived in the fields But our search was in vain. And played in the hay. I remember it so well I remember it so well We lived out of our town Splashing about in the pool And enjoyed being in the country Everything getting wet Where our skins turned light brown. Just to keep ourselves cool. But my sister disagrees I remember it so well She only remembers other things Going away by the sea Like travel sickness, thunder Spending time on the beach storms With sandwiches for tea Family rows, sunburn and wasp stings. I remember it so well The skylarks were singing So whose memory is correct? And far in the distance Perhaps both can be right The church bells were ringing. She may like to suffer But I like my summers bright. I remember it so well © Ron Brewer Attleborough Writers' Group come back to them in later life. The secret is to link them with an easily remembered tune, then they are embedded in the memory. This may seem pretty simple stuff, but I believe it’s good for all of us to recall the wonderful blessings of life, “Count your Blessings, name them the measure of Health and Strength One by One, and it will surprise we enjoy, Family and Friends …… the you what the Lord has done” list is endless.

We hope our newsletters will keep you up to date with our project, the construction activities which are taking place and provide information on some of the questions you and other community members are asking. Our project is one of nearly 60 biomass energy plants operating, under construction or being developed across the UK, using a variety of different biomass’ to generate electricity. All these projects seek to protect the environment by generating clean and safe forms of power from renewable sources which will never run out. Even more importantly, renewable energy produces little or no waste products such as carbon dioxide or other chemical pollutants, so it has minimal impact on the environment. We are anticipating our renewable energy plant will be ready to open in spring 2017 and will generate just over 44MW of green electricity by burning straw, which is enough to supply 82,000 homes and save 300,000 tons of CO2 every year.
