Saham Toney is a large village in central Norfolk, situated
south-east of Swaffham and to the north of Watton on the B1107. Saham's
early Victorian population was over 1000 inhabitants almost as many as
the nearby market town of Watton. It is certainly unusual in Norfolk to
find two large population centres as close together as these two. The
village centre is clustered around the church and the adjacent lake with
further developments almost joining to be contigous with Watton and onto
the higher ground of Saham Hills, |

This transcript was prepared from Microfiche
8 to 11 in the collection of the Norfolk Record Office. This filming is
elderly and it shows in the quality of the inages which is misty and faint.
Several portions were a difficult read and unfortunately this was not helped
by some rather eccentric hand-writing from the clerks. The period from 1813 through the mid 1820s was probably the most diffcult period to read and an error free transacript cannot be guaranteed for this parish regrettably. The standard of hand-writing improves through the latter part of the transacript and it is to be hoped that this improves the quality of the transcript. |
