Threxton All Saints

Baptisms 1813 to 1880

The parish of Threxton lies the western part of central Norfolk about 3 miles west of the small market town of Watton. The notional centre of Threxton lies just north of the B1108 which connects Watton through to the A1065 (Swaffham to Brandon) road. Threxton is a tiny place, a real blink and you'll miss it parish. There is no defined village centre and very few parishioners, in the censuses of the Victorian era it held fewer than 50 persons in total and today there are probably fewer. Just a couple of large farms dominate the landscape, the southern portion of the parish being the northern edges of the STANTA Battle Area and off-limits to the public. Threxton's only moderate claim to fame is the fact that Norfolk principal National Trail (The Peddar's Way) passes along the B1108 and thus through the parish.

All Saints' church sits about 200 metres north of the B1108 in a shallow valley in which runs a small tributary of the Wissey, a narrow lane heads across the valley towards Saham Toney and All Saints sits on its western side. The presence of a round tower is normally a signal for a Saxon church but in this case Pevsner dates the tower to the 13th century, the church is Saxon in origin, however, as the former Saxon nave was located during excavations during the 1865 restoration. This early work was replaced by Early English Gothic and Decorated style replacements as the church was rebuilt during the 13th & 14th centuries. The restoration of 1865 refreshed much and resulted in the almost total rebuild of the chancel, a vestry was also added in the 19th century. All Saints' sits just north of a prominent farm driveway in a hedged site which rather hems in the building from the north. Watton's main sewage works sits opposite making the site aromatic at times.

Given the small congregation it is not surprising that a single standard 800-entry register book covers not only the transcript period but was closed in 1998 incomplete. This register is filmed on Microfilm MF1642 in the collection of Norfolk Record Office which was used to prepare this transcript. A modern film production with good quality images only the usual writing issues detract from a straightforward piece to prepare.
