Hagbech Manors had land in #Emneth and #Walsoken. These manorial court books, rentals, quit rents, and court leet verdicts show the administrative role of Manors. Incredibly helpful for local and family history. #NewInArchives #Historical #WestNorfolk #Norfolk #Archives

Thanks @NORAHnorfolk we're still very proud of our heritage @picturehouses
Amazing volunteers at @NorfolkRO making great progress cataloguing a volume found in box of penances. Thank you. Fornication by far the most common crime. Info will eventually go into NRO catalogue. It'll be great source for family & local historians. #nropenanceproject
Archivists love little insights into process. Luck has meant this 300 year old note's survived at @NorfolkRO. It's a lawyer's instruction found in box of penances, re a fornication case. It says go easy on the unnamed accused as he's married his co-fornicator. #nropenanceproject
New @NorfolkRO blog (norfolkrecordofficeblog.org/…) is all about penances. It relates to a letter of support used by a James Lacey who went before church courts for doing something 'too common amongst young people'. #nropenanceproject
Typical schedule of penance of 1740 found loose in box at @NorfolkRO . Despite marrying, John and Ann Aldred of Burgh, Suffolk had to confess in front of whole church for heinous sin of fornicating before they were married. #nropenanceproject
