The parish of New Lakenham was carved from the ancient parish of Lakenham in the 1840s to cater for the expanding growth of the city of Norwich which had, by then, spread widely beyond its ancient walled centre. The area is now an integral part of the city and lies immediately beyond the Inner Ring Road and to the south of the city centre. St Mark's church, built between 1843 & 1844 is a large
structure of brick and flint surrounded by mature trees - necessitating
a winter visit for an adequate view. Situated just away from the city
and lying between the Hall & City Roads there is little architectural
interest in the building which Pevsner describes as "barn-like". |

| These records were transcribed from 4 registers
deposited with the Norfolk Record Office and filmed on Microfilm MF1710
in their collection. The first, a standard 800-entry book, the second, a
stub of a similar book but only partially used, the third register is a
large 2400-entry book as used in populous parishes, the final few entries
are filmed from a second large 2400-entry book which was only commenced
just before the end of the transcript period.
The filming is a modern one and the images are adequate but not perfect as the state of preservation of the originals is suspect in places. There are sections where the original has clearly been damaged by water ingress. In such a long transcript the number of writers is large and sadly not all were pin perfect in their writing. There is a strong caveat against 100% accuracy on account of this. |
