The ParishThe parish of Fulmodeston lies in north central Norfolk about 5 miles east of the market town of Fakenham. Fulmodeston is a small crossroads village supplemented by the hamlet of Croxton which lies a half mile west. Fulmodeston sits in lanes equidistant from the A1067 (Fakenham to Norwich) and A148 (Fakenham to Holt) roads which form two sides of a triangle, Fulmodeston is roughly 2 miles from either. The area is almost totally devoted to arable farming, although at the time of this transcript there would have been a more mixed farming regime agriculture was ultimately the primary economic driver. The headwaters of the River Stiffkey drain the parish to the northwest before eventually reaching the North Sea through Stiffkey itself. Fulmodeston is sited at roughly 60 metres above the sea on a low ridge between the River Stiffkey and the Wensum valleys. Fulmodeston parish was quite large by Norfolk standards although parishes are larger in this area, it covered just over 2,300 acres and would have supported a population of just over 350 parishioners. In Domesday times Fulmodeston was held by one William of Warenne, it was quite a small place offering just 6 ploughs, small meadows and woodlands and a collection of enumerated livestock. |

1 | 18th October 1754 - 6th August 1812 | Norfolk Record Office - Reference - PD/695/7 | Standard preprinted and self-numbered combined Banns & Marriage register with 4 entries per page | Grade 3 Register - there are sufficient quality issues with this register to indicate that some misreads will occur albeit few in number | Fading of the register makes for a tricky read and could lead to a few misreads |
2 | 15th October 1813 - 12th January 1837 | Norfolk Record Office - Reference - PD/695/4 | Standard Rose style preprinted and prenumbered Marriage register | Grade 2 Register - not a perfect read but with a low likelihood of misreads | None |
