The parish of Baconsthorpe lies in northeastern Norfolk
about 3 miles southeast of the small market town of Holt. Baconsthorpe
sits in lanes about 2 miles south of the A148 road which links Holt with
Cromer. The village is quite a dispersed one being spread over almost
a mile from west to east between village pub and church. Baconsthorpe's
main claim to fame lies in its 15th century castle which lies a half mile
to the north, in reality this castle was little more than a moated house
with a castellated curtain wall as fortification. At the time of this
transcript Baconsthorpe would have been an arable farming community and
the landscape around it is little changed with large cereal fields predominant.
