The ParishThe parish of Bodham lies in northeastern Norfolk quite close to its North Sea coast. Bodham is a compact village sitting astride the A148 road about 3 miles east of the market town of Holt, the A148 connects Holt with the coastal resort of Cromer. Apart from the village which sits tucked away mostly to the south of the main road, there is the subsidiary hamlet of Lower Bodham almost a mile away to the southwest. Bodham sits inland of Norfolk's northern coast by just over two miles but is largely an agricultural parish at the time of this transcript nowadays much of the northern part of the parish is wooded and holds a large holiday facility. Bodham is drained to the southwest by the headwaters of the River Glaven which takes a long detour to the south before entering the North Sea through Cley next the Sea. Bodham is sited at around 70 metres above the sea, it sits on a glacial feature known as the Cromer-Holt ridge, and Lower Bodham is appropriately enough almost 20 metres lower. Parish sizes in this part of Norfolk are small and Bodham is no exception, it covered around 1,400 acres and supported around 300 parishioners. In Domesday times the parish was shared between Hugh de Montfort and Walter Giffard, it only boasted 3 ploughs and was a small and insignificant place. |
