The parish of Alburgh lies in southern Norfolk not too
far from the River Waveney, the border with neighbouring Suffolk. Alburgh
sits, in lanes, just a couple of miles north of the A143 road which connects
the Suffolk market town of Bungay with Diss. The village, sitting on slightly
higher ground to the north of the Waveney valley, is rather strung out
along a lane leading from the A143 towards Hempnall. Alburgh sits about
3 miles northeast of Harleston and 5 miles west of Bungay. The area is
rich arable countryside with large open fields dominating the largely
flat landscape, only the removal of hedgerows would distinguish this scene
from that pertinent at the time of this transcript. Sadly many of the
village facilities no longer exist in Alburgh, a sign of recent changes
in provision which would not have been the case in the 19th century. |

Two standard 800-entry register books cover the period of this transcript, the second running onwards to completion in the late 20th century. The registers are filmed on Microfiche 8 - 10 in the collection of Norfolk Record Office but are also available online at Familysearch as digitised images of a superior quality to the fiche. The latter were used to prepare this transcript making for a straightforward piece to prepare. |
