The ParishThe parish of Little Plumstead lies in eastern Norfolk about 6 miles east of the city of Norwich. Little Plumstead is a medium sized, much expanded in recent times, village which lies about 2 1/2 miles north of the A47 road which connects Norwich with the port of Great Yarmouth. Little Plumstead would have been a small arable farming community at the time of this transcript, sitting on the southern edge of the heathland of Mousehold which then ran many miles to east of Norwich on a belt of poor stone & sandy soils. Today Little Plumstead is mainly a commuter settlement for the nearby city with many modern homes built to accommodate the growing population. Little Plumstead is drained southeastwards by small streams heading for the nearby River Yare and thence to the North Sea through Great Yarmouth. Little Plumstead is sited at around 20 metres above the sea in rather flat countryside with local heights rising to barely 30 metres as one heads towards Norwich. Little Plumstead parish is fairly typically sized for Norfolk's Broadland covering around 1,400 acres it would have supported a population of almost 350 parishioners. There is no specific mention of Little Plumstead in Domesday book. |
