3 miles south of the market town of Attleborough on the B1077 road which
links Attleborough to Diss. Old Buckenham has some splendid village features
notably its castle, certainly Norman and possibly earlier (Roman?) and
its village green a splendid asset to the village. The village has a long
and ancient history with many old farms dating back to Tudor and later
times. A landmark too is its post mill which has the largest diameter
of any in England. The village has all of its essential commercial assets
too with shops and pubs a plenty, Old Buckenham is a thriving village
and one of the pleasantest in Norfolk. |

| As befits a large and populous village the register books for Old Buckenham covering the period of the transcript are of the standard 1600-entry form. The first begun in 1813 runs to the end of 1865 where a few entries are unused, the second commences in 1866 and runs through to the twentieth century. Both register books are filmed on Microfilm MF578 in the collection of the Norfolk Record Office and from which this transcript was prepared. The films are not of a modern vintage but are by and large adequate to the task, some birth dates written in the margin for the earliest period are rather faint and difficult to read. As a consequence and subject to that qualification this was a straightforward transcript t prepare and it is to be hoped few errors will have been introduced. |
