Baptisms 1813 to 1880
The parish of Sculthorpe lies just west of the market
town of Fakenham, the first village along the A148 heading west towards
King's Lynn. The parish is a curious shape, a triangle with base formed
by the A148 and two built-up minor roads meeting close to the church.
The whole triange being empty of properties except those fronting the
roads. Sculthorpe is a substantial village and forms a populat place to
live for those working in Fakenham. |

The two registers which form this transcript
were deposited together and filmed on microfilm MF1396 in the collection
of the Norfolk Record Office. This film is quite a recent filming, perhaps
a good thing given the eccentricities of the hand-writing of the major incumbant,
with clear and contrasty images. As stated, however, the hand-writing through the majority of the period was in a single very difficult cramped hand and some interpretation has been required in some cases to establish the surnames concerned. It is to be expected that some errors may have occurred as a result of these difficulties but it is to be hoped that these are few in number. |
