Cock Crow NEWSLETTER of BRESSINGHAM & WINFARTHING GROUP of CHURCHES Cock Crow NEWSLETTER OF BRESSINGHAM & WINFARTHING GROUP OF CHURCHES JUNE/JULY 2014 Issue No: 3 Boats await the holidays at Brancaster Staithe O Murphy’s Rambles Hello again. What a Spring! One moment we were searching for primroses and then there was a positive explosion of cowslips; more than we have ever seen. The footpaths are already getting quite long with rampant goose grass everywhere – it’s going to be fun getting that out of my coat later! The blackthorn is fading fast and being replaced with cascades of fragrant hawthorn and majestic candles on the horse chestnut trees. The deer have left us, but we now have hares. On a couple of occasions we have watched eight in one field, running in ever-decreasing circles; usually they just snuggle down and pretend to be clods of earth. Our constant companions on our walks are the birds. Lone crows voice their displeasure at our passing, cheeky blackbirds walk along the road ahead of us and robins watch us from fence posts. We enjoy the vivid colours of chaffinches, goldfinches, blue tits and yellow hammers, the disembodied sounds of ducks and water hens from ponds, the gossiping chatter of sparrows in Druids Lane and the song of the skylarks as we pass through ‘their’ territory. Best of all is our new find – a little owl that sits and watches us as we pass beneath. Well, take care folks and keep on walking!

  • 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.

  • South Norfolk Council Electoral Review
    South Norfolk Council Electoral Review Warding Patterns Submission September 2016 1 Contents 1. Foreword 2. Introduction 2. Proposed Warding Arrangements 3. Equality of Representation 4. Community Identities and Interests 5. Convenient and effective local government 6. Conclusion 1. Foreword South Norfolk is earmarked for significant growth. By 2022, the number of electors within parts of our District, including Costessey, Wymondham and Long Stratton will have increased substantially. We have been required, as a result of the present electoral variance within the Old Costessey Ward to undertake a review of the District Ward Boundaries at this stage, even though we recognise that ideally this process would have followed on from a Parish Boundary review. Having sought clarity regarding the criteria employed by the Local Government Boundary Commission to undertake this review, we have felt compelled to employ a strict adherence to the “10% principle” – that no ward should be more or less than 10% from the average and, in practice, as close to the average as possible. We must redraw the lines following the requirements of the Commission, ensuring that a Parish does not sit in two different District Wards, unless it is also warded. However, this has led to a number of dilemmas in fine-tuning our proposals that our communities will rightly highlight to you. Nonetheless, as much as our communities may favour alternative arrangements, we also recognise that just because a Parish or Town lies in a different District Ward, our communities do not necessarily change. Community organisations will still bind them together, based on their commonalities – and in some cases differences.
