If you know it already, you'll perhaps appreciate the scale of what is otherwise known as "City Cemetery" in Norwich. The cemetery on Earlham Road is the same as the one on Bowthorpe Road, and Dereham Road, and both sides of Farrow Road. There are a few places to park - entrances for cars off Farrow Road and Earlham Road - and some space along Dereham Road too (but look out for double yellows!). Earlham Crematorium is in the middle of the cemetery, and can be accessed from Earlham Road, opposite Somerfield.

Opened after the Rosary Cemetery (a nonconformist cemetery dating from 1819), City Cemetery was a response to the dire situation of overcrowded churchyards within the city walls. City churchyards were finally closed when the cemetery opened in 1856. A helpful note in St Gregory's Church register, for example, reads "All the churchyards in the city are closed by the order of Queen in Council taking effect from 1st March 1856". Thereafter, some registers, St Gregory's being one, continue to record burials of people from the parish but in the cemetery. These people should therefore appear in a church register as well as in the cemetery burial register and grave book. Other registers later recorded only the scattering of ashes, or special interments by permission of the secretary of state - for example, famously, the reburial of Thomas Browne's skull on 04 July 1922 at St Peter Mancroft. Look up the entry, and you'll find his skull's residence as "since 1846/7 or 8, Norfolk and Norwich Hospital Museum" and its age "317 years". 

Anyway, I digress. In December, I'm giving a lecture about the 1912 floods in connection with the NR3 exhibition at the Norfolk Record Office. Before doing this sort of thing I like to visit some of the places I'm going to talk about, and in this case, I wanted to find the final resting place of three of those who died during the events of that August.

I was not really expecting to find headstones, firstly because many of those buried in common graves never had one, and secondly because not all of those that once stood still remain. It has become quite difficult, in the older sections of the cemetery at least, to locate specific plots as the trees have matured and the once regimented paths and stones have softened and gracefully adjusted and submitted to mother nature over time. Many of the iron grave markers which once dotted the sections have also been lost or removed, so take a plan with you.

If you have an interest in the cemetery before the 1970s, visit the Norfolk Record Office or Norfolk Heritage Centre (in the Millennium Library). In both places you can view grave books (all those buried in each plot - usually up to four individuals, who may or may not be related), burial registers (chronological records of burials) and indexes (to help you access the first two). While you're there, you can also view and print a cemetery plan and detailed section plans. Off the top of my head this final useful film is MF 812, but it would be worth checking when you get there - the NRO has print outs of all of these in a large folder, too. Alternatively, and for more modern burials, contact Norwich City Council.

The three people I was looking for didn't have stones, at least that my husband and I found, but I did take some images of section 28, in which they rest, and a couple from close by in order to illustrate my lecture. I won't be using them all, so I post a couple of them here, in the hope that they give a flavour of the corner of the cemetery bounded by Dereham and Bowthorpe Road for anyone else who has connections to this special place. Further images are on my facebook page or flickr photostream.

If you'd like to know more about those I was looking for, then check back after the lecture, as I hope to write about them then.

Before I even start, I’m going to say one thing. I love archives and local studies libraries and libraries. On honeymoon, I took my brand new husband to no less than four – Boston Public Library, Mass Archives, Cambridge Public Library and Harvard (although I couldn’t get into the last one). I’m also going to be open about the fact that I work in one, so I’m biased.

But I really believe they are wonderful, and they need our support.

So many people I talk to exclusively research online at home, many of them believing that everything they could possibly want is already digitised and available if they type it into a search engine or one of the market leading genealogy sites. In reality, despite the giant leaps taken in recent years, there is still a great deal more information available offline.

Don’t get me wrong, I make extensive use of online resources and am very pleased that so many ‘staple’ resources can be easily accessed via my laptop, iPad or my phone (in many cases, importantly, in the form of images of primary sources). Having said that, I think that those that don’t look elsewhere are seriously limiting themselves, both in terms of what they look at, and in terms of the whole ‘experience’ of researching. There is a balance to be struck between online/offline, and depending on what you're looking for, that balance may shift backwards and forwards.

I am a great advocate of going beyond census and BMD to build a family tree or write a house history. What is the use of a long list of names and dates? Is it really better to make the biggest tree possible, or to bring a smaller amount of characters ‘to life’ by utilising every source you can get your hands on, be it parchment, newsprint, photograph, paper or other object? The answer will depend on you own personal goals, but personally, I tend towards the latter.

Visiting your local has never been more important than it is today. All around the country posts are being cut, opening hours reduced, facilities closed and accessibility altered. If we as researchers - in whatever branch of history - don’t use our archives and libraries, who will? These treasure troves of records, sounds, pictures, stories and lives are no good to anyone if they remain locked away with no one to look at them and no staff to help visitors discover them.

I don't understand the notion of someone having "done" their family tree. As far as my own goes, the more I do, the more questions I have, and the more I want to find out/check/cross reference (don't believe everything you read on a website, nor everything you read in an old hand!). There will always be things I haven't found yet, new sources to try, and new leads to follow and these will be located both on and offline. 

If you don’t have a library card or a CARN card, get one. Ideally get both! Libraries these days are much more user friendly and offer far more to you than just plain old books. Locally to me for example, beyond the physical resources that I love so much, your library card allows access to at least one, if not two, major genealogy websites for free - saving you money on subscriptions. It also allows you to access vast digital newspaper archives as well as Who’s Who, recent newspapers and business information to mention a few. All this in surroundings which lend themselves to further research in large archive collections that exist only in the real world.

Look out for events, too. There are probably talks, workshops and community groups near you that you could go to, and often they’re even free! Many libraries and archives are on twitter now, have facebook pages and mailing lists - it's getting ever easier to find out what they're up to and when and where it's happening.

However useful computers and the internet are - and will continue to be - there is something very special about looking at an original manuscript or volume. The texture, the sound… even the smell! You might be the first person to look at it for decades. My laptop isn’t half so magical. Believe it or not, I often even find microfilm better than the internet - the speed can be so slow around here that browsing a microfilm reel is actually a lot more efficient! What's more, lots of libraries now have wifi, so you can have the best of both worlds and strike the perfect balance between on and offline.

My plea to you is to ask you to find something new in your local facility, be that a resource, an event or even a piece of knowledge acquired from the staff there. If you went many years ago and found it stuffy, give it another try. If you rely on transcriptions, go and find the real thing - a lot of the time you'll get more (and better) information. Ask questions. Ask more questions. Look for posters about upcoming activities. Most of us staff love to help you, and some of us might even be able to help you with a thing or too….!

Go on, I dare you.

For today however I’m going to write about administration units.

Dull? Well, maybe.

But I tell you what, if you don’t know which ‘Erpingham’ you’re talking about then you could find you’re wasting an awful lot of time during your research, either because you’re not looking in the right places, or because you're not including the entire area you should be reviewing. 

While my example here will be Norfolk based, the principle applies wherever you are across the Country, and the Erpingham Example is by no means the only one even in Norfolk (as you'll see at the bottom of this post).

So, Erpingham.

Erpingham, Erpingham, Erpingham. 

For some reason it’s the one name that seems to trip up and confuse more people I speak to than any other. In fact, if I had a pound for every person that thought all births, marriages and deaths on the GRO and listed in Erpingham were registered in the parish, then I might have retired by now (I'm 27).  

Most locals will know that Erpingham is a small and very pretty village in North Norfolk. It had just over 540 residents in 2001 (according to the census of that year) and has a very well known pub. The church of St Mary is the religious centre of the ecclesiastical parish of the same name (in the benefice of Erpingham with Calthorpe etc), and the current area of the civil parish of Erpingham is a smidge over 10km squared. There is no registry office there. 

Erpingham is also the name of several other administrative units which are much, much, larger - in both area and population - than the parish itself. Here are the most common ones:

North Erpingham hundred: A historical administrative area you’ll come across frequently, mostly before 1834, when looking at things like land tax, or finding parishes in Blomefield or trade directories. North Erpingham hundred includes Aldborough, Antingham, Aylmerton, Barningham-Norwood, Barningham Town, Beeston Regis, Bessingham, Cromer, East Beckham…in fact over 30 parishes in the north of the County up to the coast. Not one of them is Erpingham parish!

South Erpingham hundred: As above, but including nearly 40 parishes immediately to the south of the other Erpingham hundred. This time, Erpingham is one of those parishes included in the unit. For Norfolk hundred maps, visit www.archives.norfolk.gov.uk and look for “e-Resources” on the left before choosing a map to view.

Erpingham Poor Law Union: The 49 parishes which came together in April 1836, with an elected Board of Guardians, to look after the needy of the area. This area is not the same as either of the hundreds described previously. Unfortunately, it didn’t even stay the same throughout its history – North Walsham parish moved from Erpingham Union to Smallburgh Union in 1884! 

Erpingham Registration district: As already mentioned, this seems to be the one that really throws people, and not surprisingly. When civil registration began in 1837, each birth, marriage and death was indexed with a ‘Registration District’. This is not a single parish where the event was registered, but a group of parishes. The event could have been registered in any one of the parishes included in the district. Erpingham parish is within Erpingham RD, but so are 52 other parishes for most of its existance (use a site such as www.ukbmd.org.uk to find out which parishes were in which district, when). So, when you see a birth, marriage or death index entry in ‘Erpingham’, it’s not telling you that everything happened in Erpingham village and you won’t find all the associated baptisms, banns and burials in the St Mary’s registers. The parishes covered are again not the same as any of the other units mentioned above.

These are the main offenders for beginners with Erpingham connections, but watch out, because Erpingham isn’t always included in a larger unit bearing it’s name either – from 1806 to 1836, Erpingham parish belonged to the Oulton Gilbert Union and sent it’s paupers to a workhouse at Oulton!

It's important to make sure you know which Erpingham you are dealing with, but unfortunately web sources - and other sources - won't always make it clear. But then it's all part of the challenge and detective work of family history, and part of the reason that patience, referencing and attention to detail are such important qualities in a genealogist... 

Other Norfolk parishes which give their names to various units are as follows (not an exhaustive list; GU = Gilbert Union, PLU = Poor Law Union, RD = Registration District): 

Acle is a GU

Aldborough is a GU

Aylsham is a PLU and an RD

Bawdeswell is a GU

Blofield is a PLU, a hundred and an RD

Booton is a GU

Brinton is a GU (with Melton Constable)

Diss is a hundred

Docking is a PLU and an RD

Earsham is a hundred

East Dereham is an RD

Fakenham is an RD

Gimingham is a GU

Great Yarmouth is a PLU and an RD

Hackford is a GU NB there are two Hackford parishes, the GU is the one near Reepham

Holt is a hundred

Hoxne is an RD

King’s Lynn is a PLU, a coroners’ district and an RD

Loddon is a PLU and RD (with Clavering), by itself it’s a hundred

Melton Constable is a GU (with Brinton)

Mitford is a PLU and an RD (with Launditch), by itself it’s a hundred

Mutford is a hundred and an RD NB the parish is in Suffolk but some parishes in the hundred and RD were once in Norfolk

North Walsham is an RD

Norwich is a PLU, a hundred, a coroners’ district, an RD

Shropham is a hundred

Smallburgh is an RD

Swaffham is a PLU and an RD

Taverham is a hundred

Thetford is a PLU and an RD

Tunstead (with Happing) is a PLU and RD, by itself it’s a hundred

Walsingham is a PLU and an RD

Wisbech is an RD

And to finish, a few that people often think are parishes… but aren't (just for starters):

Forehoe is a PLU and an RD but not a parish

Depwade is PLU and an RD but not a parish

Clavering (with Loddon) is a PLU and an RD, by itself it’s a hundred, but it’s not a parish

Happing (with Tunstead) is a PLY and an RD, by itself it’s a hundred, but it’s not a parish

So there you have it. Don’t be fooled, have confidence in your units (not just the alcoholic kind), and mind your Erpinghams!

First, the venue. Thanks to John and Nicole at beautiful Bateman’s Barn, St Cross South Elmham in Suffolk for providing us with the perfect venue, complete with a Grade 1 listed, moated manor house, romantic ruin, walks to South Elmham Minster, medieval wall paintings and of course the barn, dating from 1270, where we actually tied the knot. We had a wonderful time and our thanks go to both Nicole and John for working so hard to give us a brilliant day with loads of fantastic food – we would recommend them to anyone. See http://www.weddings.batemansbarn.co.uk/ and www.batemansbarn.co.uk for more information. 

Perhaps my favourite aspect was the “wedding line”, a chronological series of wedding photographs of family weddings all the way back to the 1870s. It was a great ice breaker between the families and organising the photos in this way was really interesting too, because all over the Country, the same standard poses are evident. To show which family was which, my family had purple labels, and his silver. Weddings ranged from Badingham in the 1870s and Blackburn in the early 1900s all the way across the pond to a GI wedding in Ohio and a Vegas shot featuring a recent wedding on hubby’s side. Obvious too were the WWI and WWII weddings, on both sides of the family. 

The most entertaining conversations were perhaps the “that’s where your nose comes from!” types. Children were poking fun at their parents and of course aunties, uncles and even the bride and mother of the groom appeared as bridesmaids and best men in other peoples’ photos. 

Next, the place settings. Each person at the ‘main event’ (we had an evening session too) had a mini family tree, all drawn by me, showing their recent ancestry, where I knew it. (Note I didn’t investigate anyone’s history I didn’t already know very well – new boyfriends and girlfriends would have found that more than creepy!) It was very helpful here that I also got my now-Mother-in-Law into Ancestry, to the point where, being able to devote more time to it, her trees are now even bigger than mine! Here are a couple of examples: 

Standing around outside the bar? Perfect opportunity to check out the family tree of our cat, Moo. Why was our feline friend involved? Simply because it’s much easier to make a large bowtie ancestor chart with a common denominator linking my family with my husband’s. Not having any kids, the cat had to step in! Not everyone would have been interested, but it was a fun way to showcase our research, and most people there for the whole shebang shared at least part of our tree. 

On a personal note, I also wore a brooch that belonged to my Great Grandmother as my something old – it could even be seen on her 1930s wedding photograph in the wedding line. My something blue may also have historical connetations of some sort…!?

There are loads of other people I’d like to thank, and I include their details and websites here in no particular order....

Christopher Warner, our pianist, who converted my favourite Pantera track to a song I could walk down the aisle to, who played the Game of Thrones theme for us to sign the register, and even a Star Trek medley for us to exit to (yes, really, people were trying to work out why they recognised it, but couldn’t quite believe it might be Star Trek). www.thecambridgepianist.co.uk 

Bray’s Cottage pork pies for creating an incredible three tier pork pie for the reception. Three flavours – chilli, onion marmalade and chorizo. Can you say ‘yum’? www.perfectpie.co.uk 

Callendar’s in Framlingham for gorgeous flowers to match the theme including beautiful pedestals and table arrangements, not to mention the button holes and my lovely bouquet. www.framlinghamflorist.co.uk

The Black Swan pub at Homersfield, for keeping the boys entertained until it was time for them to come across. www.homersfieldblackswan.co.uk

For my, and my bridesmaids', hair, the fab Emily Glasspoole at Example in Norwich. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Example-Hair-Salon/309123999122921 

DK Wedding Photography, the fabulous Tim and James, who have given us the best photos we could have asked for, including all those on this blog. www.dkweddingphotography.co.uk

The registrars from Waveney, who did a great job of the ceremony, put us both at our ease and of course shared a knowledge of BMD certs with me! Also the bus company, Simonds, who ferried my evening guests from and back to Norwich: http://www.simonds.co.uk/

Elma, our incredible fire dancer, who entertained the crowds and wowed everyone who watched. http://fleuriefire.weebly.com/ 

There are others - Ngaire who did my make up, Sarah and Karen who made my cake - but they don't have websites. Nevertheless - THANK YOU! Last but no means least, our families and friends, without whom there would be no wedding, and no genealogy.

Suffolk has gone from nothing to being very nearly indexed in the last week or so - if you search for people in the 1911 England Census who live in "Suffolk, England" and restrict to this place exactly, you get 381,265 results from a population at the time of approximately 383,000.

Norfolk meanwhile, shows 41,982 indexed residents out of a total of approximately 489,000, suggesting that it has stayed the same since my last update. However, those of you who have been residents long enough (unfortunately it was more than a decade before I was born!) will remember the boundary changes in the east of both counties following the Local Government Act 1972 which came into force in 1974.

The following modern-day Norfolk parishes were in Suffolk before the changes and therefore are already searchable on Ancestry:

Burgh Castle

Bradwell

Belton

Fritton, near Great Yarmouth (not to be confused with the other Fritton!)

Hopton

If you were wondering about Gorleston, it was already in Norfolk by 1911. The NRO have a leaflet all about Gorleston, Southtown and Runham Vauxhall and their various administrative histories here: http://www.archives.norfolk.gov.uk/view/NCC098519. 

As ever, hoping this is useful. I should also point out that the full 1911 census is already indexed on other websites, including www.findmypast.co.uk, www.1911census.co.uk and www.thegenealogist.co.uk. Non-indexed images are of course still available at Ancestry, allowing you to browse by parish, and you can also still use the trick in the post below to skip from summary book to census image.

This blog is not to cast judgement, but simply to provide a couple of pointers that may be useful when searching 1911 summary books and the census as a whole while on the website.

For Norfolk only, to save you the trouble, I have trawled through all the civil parishes listed and believe the following to be the parishes (or parts of parishes where Norwich is concerned) currently searchable via indexing (I make no comment on the current quality of that indexing!)

Other things to keep in mind:

• Many of the parishes appear with one, two or three others - if you're browsing and you don't find it listed on its own then it is probably one of these cases (e.g. Crownthorpe and Wicklewood).
• Some of the parishes have been given the wrong names. Heard of Helmingham, Norfolk? No, it's actually Felmingham - Suffolk is the one with a Helmingham. Watch out for this - I've reported some to Ancestry so hopefully these will be changed. 
• A couple of Suffolk parishes are listed within Norfolk, and not just because of changes to County boundaries. Another thing to look out for in Suffolk is Kettleburgh being referred to as "Nettleham" on the summary book but "Kettleburgh" on the census proper - I am sure there are others where this came from but again, hopefully they will be fixed soon.
• Norwich has been partially indexed, but only very partially. I did not go into every single ED within the city but I have sampled them and I am fairly confident that most if not all of the EDs indexed are included above under the name of the first street on the first schedule in that ED. The brackets show the ED number.

Helpful general point for all un-indexed pages, whatever the County, - you can use the 1911 summary books to calculate the corresponding schedule.

• If you find the person you want in the summary book, but the full census for that person is not yet indexed, take note of the schedule number of the person you are interested in as well as the County, Civil Parish, Sub Registration District and Enumeration District (the "breadcrumbs" along the bar above the record)
• Now go to the 1911 census proper and browse to the right County, Parish etc.
• When you have navigated as far as Enumeration District, double the schedule number and use it as the page number. If you are lucky you will have gone straight to the right schedule. If not, then you should be in the right ball park - go forward and back a page or three as necessary.

Here's hoping this is helpful - it took much longer to do the research than it did to write the post!

 Just for fun, here are some festive snippets to be enjoyed with a glass of mulled wine and some left over turkey and pickled onions.

The surname Christmas is a fairly common one in these parts. Just a few examples:

• John Christmas Mann, baptised 28 August 1830 at Cley next the Sea.
• Eliza Holley Christmas, baptised 18 March 1794 at Holt
• Christian Christmas, baptised 10 December 1608 at Colkirk
• John Worship, married 27 September 1791 at Hindolveston – witness William Christmas
• Harriet Louisa Tinsel, baptised 11 November 1803 at Great Yarmouth 

In a more general sense, www.familysearch.org has (accessed today): 

• 182,121 results for first name ‘Santa’
• 206,651 for ‘Rudolf’
• 64 results for surname ‘Bauble’
• 1548 results for surname ‘Turkey’
• Seven listings for surname ‘Reindeer’
• 13,679 Dashers; 23,704 Dancers; 30 Prancers; 279 Vixens; 1578 Comets; 1,717 Cupids; 36,931 Donners and 107 Blitzens.
• 1973 results with surname ‘Elf’
• 12,608 hits for surname ‘Sprout’
• …and a christening for a Lilian Ruth Christmas Tree on 18 January 1903 at Hackington, Kent

Post yours below!

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Waking up to a misty morning, I decided nonetheless to carry out today’s planned mission to visit all the medieval churches within the old city walls, photograph them, and map out the route,  just in case anyone else would like to carry out such a trek themselves. By ‘all the medieval churches’ what I really mean are those churches with ‘working’ parishes in 1837, as well the sites of those that have been lost since. I also included a couple of others which I passed on my way that were already out of use whencivil registration came around. 

While this morning’s walk takes in churches, it also passes a great deal of other sights and sounds, ancient and modern vistas, bits of city wall, 60s redevelopment (love it or loathe it), the legacy of 19^thCentury industry, more recent regeneration and the old standbys – Cathedral, Castle, Guildhall and Market – so if you’re new to the city or just looking to uncover more of it, you might like to give the following a go. 

To give you an idea of how close together the churches are, I’ve included the time at which I took the first of each pair of photographs below. The fog makes for moody shots, and while there is a trade off here with the loss of some towers to the mists, the weather does help disguise some of the less impressive architecture close to the churches. It is not very difficult to imagine yourself part of a grey Victorian morning on a day like this. 

It is not my intention here to talk about the history of the churches, rather to help you put them into the context of their modern surroundings and give a flavour of what they look like. There are many here that locals will recognise, but there are others which are right next to busy thoroughfares and nevertheless unnoticed by passers by on their way to work, nestled as they are in the peripheral vision of drivers and pedestrians. 

So, in order to help you identify the names (in some cases the 'old names' as new uses have come to the buildings) and locations of the churches, here are two views of each, in the order I visited them, starting from Chapelfield and heading out and back again around the city. I’ve done the route from the bus station as this is where most visitors are likely to arrive, but you could start it at whichever point takes your fancy. 

And so, at 9:30am, the Beastie Boys and I headed up to the city, fog lights blazing, and the mission began… 

From the bus station, enter Surrey Street, turn right and then left up All Saints Green. Follow the road north onto Golden Ball Street into Cattle Market Street and then turn right beside the old Marquee Pub to enter the churchyard of St Peter Permountergate at the end of a short alley. 

10:01  

Leave the churchyard through the entrance on King Street. Turn right and then right again in the vicinity of Dragon Hall to walk past St Julian, rebuilt after bombing in World War Two.

10:05

At the top of the alley, turn left along Rouen Road and head south towards the very bottom of the spine of Conesford. St Etheldred is nestled in trees to your left.

10:09  

Keep walking towards King Street and turn right continuing towards the bottom of the inner ring road. Almost at the junction with the ring road itself, look right and walk up a pedestrian path. The ruin of St Peter Southgate, pulled down in the late 1800s, is now inside a children’s playground. 

10:26 (closer together than this – took a little detour!) 

Walk up hill past the playground and the end of Argyle Street. Follow the pedestrian path up a further steep hill which turns into Southgate Lane. At the top, turn right back towards the city centre and right again down Ber Street, next to a small section of city wall. St John de Sepulchre is on the left by the junction with Finkelgate.

10:32  

Continue along Ber Street until you see the ruin of St Bartholomew on the right, pulled down just before the Second World War after a few centuries of use as a factory and store. Not to be confused with the ruin of St Bartholomew, Heigham, to the west of the city wall. 

10:35

Keep walking up Ber Street and cross over the road by some new flats on the right. You have just come to the site of St Michael at Thorn, bombed in the Baedeker Raids in 1942 and never rebuilt (although the doorway became part of the rebuilt St Julian). 

10:37 

Continue along Ber Street back to All Saints Green having completed a loop to the south of the city. St John Timberhill is in front of you. 

10:39 

10:41 

Continue down Westlegate and cross St Stephen’s Street. Climb up Rampant Horse Street and St Stephen’s church is on your left just past the twinkling lights of M&S. Chapelfield shopping centre is just behind it. 

10:44

Carry on up the hill and cross the road to the Forum. Opposite the entrance is St Peter Mancroft, often mistaken as one of the city’s cathedrals. It is easy to see why as it dominates its immediate area in a way that few other Norwich churches do, except perhaps St John de Sepulchre and St Giles which sit at the top of hills (Norfolk does actually have them!) 

10:46

10:50

Walk down Cow Hill (to your right after St Giles’ church) and then turn left along Pottergate. Before entering the underpass, turn right and you will see the tower of St Benedict in the centre of an 80s housing development. The church was bombed in the same raids which claimed St Michael at Thorn and St Julian.

10:54

Continue north to St Benedict’s Street and turn right. You will spot St Swithin’s church, now better known as the fabulous Norwich Arts Centre, to your left. 

10:56

Keep going east and you will almost immediately come across St Margaret (see St Laurence in the right hand photo, too).  

10:58

And then almost immediately St Laurence.

11:00

The parishes here were very narrow, running north to south and taking in part of the Wensum. The next one is St Gregory, on the other side of the road. 

11:01
