Houghton on the Hill St Mary

Baptisms 1813 to 1880

Houghton on the Hill parish is a remnant reflecting one of Norfolk's lost mediaeval villages. It is believed the original settlement become untenable following the depredations of the plague years and the village which supported St Mary's church was abandoned. The only inhabitants of the parish reside at a handful of scattered farmhouses. The parish lies in central Norfolk a few miles to the south-east of the market town of Swaffham and south of the main east-west A47.

St Mary's church was also for a while a ruin but following rumours of arcane desicrations the church was adopted by a keen band eager to preserve the tiny church who have restored much of its foundation. Much of what remains dates from the 14th century - a typical Norfolk church date. The whole is a church in miniature and quite picturesque in a garden-like setting.

These records were transcribed from Microfilm MF591 in the collection of the Norfolk Record Office. The entries were generally clear with good contrast. Given the good filming and the generally good standard of writing there should be few errors in this transcription.
