Didlington St Michael

Baptisms 1813 to 1880

Didlington parish lies in the south-west of Norfolk, lying in a sparsely populated area north-west of Mundford. This parish was very much an "estate church" with the parishioners largely workers in the Didlington Hall Estate. The occupations of the males clearly demonstrate the quintessential country house estate, with huntsmen, grooms and butlers.

St Michael's church is quite an early church with indications of a late 13th century origin. The church is only accessible by farm tracks and is remote from all roads - a very peaceful setting surrounded by tall trees. The Italianate Georgian hall was demolished after damage when commandeered during World War II by the army but the area remains to this day very much a country estate.
These records were transcribed from Microfilm MF1642 in the collection of the Norfolk Record Office. This recent filming was very clear throughout and in the most part the hand-writing was legible too. It is to be hoped that few errors will have occurred in the compilation of this transcript.
