Spixworth St Peter

Baptisms 1813 to 1880

The parish of Spixworth lies just a few miles north of the city of Norwich, formerly a very small village (little more than a hamlet) Spixworth is nowadays a significant suburb of the city with acres of modern homes built across firmer fields. What was once a narrow lane leading northwards from Norwich to Buxton is now a busy route carrying commuters to jobs in the city. Spixworth consisted of little but a handful of cottages and farms clustered around the Horsham St Faiths junction with that lane. A very changed aspect indeed.

St Peter's church is described by Pevsner as "A very odd sight" and indeed its almost impossibly thin tower is what strikes the eye. The church architecture indicates an early church for Norfolk as the majority is in the Decorated style with a few later Perpendicular extension to the basic nave and chancel. The tower is speculated to be the remains of a smaller older church, speculation being enhanced by its being raised by a brick top. The church lies close to the former parish centre at the Horsham St Faiths junction and set back from the road by a grassy graveyard.

A single standard register book of 800 entries covers not only the period of this short transcript but continues up until the 20th century. The register is filmed on Microfiche 4 in the collection of the Norfolk Record Office and from which this transcript was prepared. The fiche is early and poor quality but fortunately the entries (whilst in many hands) were in the main straightforward to transcribe. It is to be hoped few errors will have crept into this transcript.
