Baptisms 1813 to 1880
The parish of Aslacton lies in central southern Norfolk
about 4 miles southwest of the large village of Long Stratton. Aslacton
is a small village sitting just to the west of the main Norwich to London
rail line in an area of intensive agriculture. Much of Aslacton is built
around its main crossroads and in recent times the village has spread
becoming almost contiguous with nearby Great Moulton. Aslacton sits almost
at the headwaters of the infant River Tas which runs a half mile north
of the village and sits on the edges of a large plateau-like area of arable
fields to the south land is almost flat for many miles until reaching
the Waveney valley, a cereal grower's paradise of large fields and open
skies. |

A single standard 800-entry register book covers the period of this transcript and runs onwards to finish in 1889. This register is filmed on Microfilm MF1684 in the collection of Norfolk Record Office. This film is a fairly recent one and benefits from the improved techniques and hence quality of recent production. As a consequence this was a straightforward piece to prepare albeit with some caveat as to the handwriting and a somewhat cavalier attitude to dating sequence, many entries appear out-of-sequence datewise as if added from supplementary notes and 2 entries are missing dates completely. Gaps in the numbering system are caused by starting a new page on occasion for a new year. |
