Baptisms 1813 to 1880
The parish of Blickling lies in northeastern Norfolk about
2 miles northwest of the market town of Aylsham. The parish is dominated
by Blickling Hall, one of the major Jacobean houses of England, the home
of the Hobart family and irrevocably associated with Anne Boleyn. There
is little in the way of a village at Blickling, just a scattering of farms
and cottages other than the vast parkland estates of the Hall. What passes
for a village centre is sited on a lane which heads northwestwards from
Aylsham towards the B1149 at Saxthorpe. The parish is situated in the
valley of the River Bure, a tributary of which has been utilised in the
parkland to create the feature lake which dominates views from the house. |

A single standard 800-entry register covers the period of this transcript and runs to 1897. This register is filmed on Microfiche 6 & 7 in the collection of the Norfolk Record Office and was used to prepare this transcript. The fiche are, unfortunately, rather elderly and suffer from the poor image quality which could be achieved when filmed. The images are pale and lack contrast and often are faded to almost unreadable. Fortunately images are present for this register on the Familysearch web-site and these are of a superior quality thanks to the features of Photoshop. As a result a readable image was always available making for a straightforward transcript to prepare, it is hoped few errors will have crept into its production. |
