  • Tributary Farmland
    NORFOLK COAST COAST AONB AONB – Integrated – Integrated Landscape Landscape Guidance Guidance tributary farmland 1 tributary farmland Integrated landscape character MAP 23a - Landscape Character Type - Tributary Farmland Key Plan Tributary Farmland is typically an expansive landscape of open, gently rolling farmland. To the west, the farmland is underlain by deep drifts of Boulder Clay, which smother the underlying Chalk, but to the east of Sheringham, the soils of the Tributary Farmland have developed from sandier deposits, formed on drifts of brown sandy Norwich Brickearth underlain by the shelly sands and gravels of the Norwich Crag formation. Historically the area has been subdivided into relatively small tenanted and owner-occupied landholdings, based loosely around villages and this historic landownership pattern is reflected in the rather unregimented pattern of relatively small, irregularly shaped fields, loosely structured settlements and many scattered, isolated farmsteads and cottages. The majority of the landscape was not farmed as open fields, but was enclosed in a piecemeal fashion, over centuries. The Tributary Farmland has a less regulated and tightly structured landscape pattern than areas of farmland where Parliamentary Enclosure was more dominant, but over the years, the differences have become less marked as hedgerow removal and infill development within villages has led to larger, more geometric fields and a more nucleated settlement form. Arable field predominate, with areas of grassland in the smaller fields which are typically found on the fringes of settlements and individual rural properties. These fields often retain a strong sense of enclosure and echo the historic landscape pattern of a small-scale, more organic layout of fields, hedgerows and rural buildings.

  • 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.

  • North Norfolk Woodland Walks
    North Norfolk Woodland Walks So many lovely walks to choose from! North Norfolk is blessed with lovely natural landscapes and a range of diverse coastal and inland woodland walks to enjoy throughout the year. A haven for wildlife, they provide a chance to experience the delights of nature through the changing seasons, from bluebells in spring through leafy shade in summer, to glorious displays of colour in autumn and crisp frost effects in winter. Some of these woods are managed by North Norfolk District Council, others are owned by bodies such as the Forestry Commission, the Norfolk Wildlife Trust, or the National Trust. Each one is a special place, and all are open dawn till dusk. Green Flag Woods Three North Norfolk woods managed by North Norfolk District Council have been given Green Flag status under the prestig- ious Keep Britain Tidy award scheme. Green Flag awards are given to parks which are kept clean and are easy to access and navigate, with signs and information boards. They also hold family friendly community events such as treasure hunts or photography competitions. Please see the North Norfolk Dis- trict Council website for details. 1 Holt Country Park NR25 6SP A Green Flag woodland managed by North Norfolk Dis- trict Council, with easy paths and a sculpture trail, and a seasonal visitor centre.
