As winter approaches, it’s great to see that this national project - based in Norfolk - which NORAH helped set up during the first lockdown , is going from strength to strength.

Do you have a loved one who served in an elected office? Why not #JustCall and ask them to share some memories?

This C18 Manor of #Terrington land survey book is beautifully arranged with red ink titles. It covers St Clement and St John, dividing them into field and marsh and occupier with concise descriptions. #NewInArchives #Historical #WestNorfolk #Norfolk #Archives

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

@NorfolkHC @NORAHnorfolk Thanks @NORAHnorfolk we're still very proud of our heritage @picturehouses

[Norfolk Archives & Heritage Development Foundation @NORAHnorfolk]

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

[Norfolk Archives & Heritage Development Foundation @NORAHnorfolk]

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

[Norfolk Archives & Heritage Development Foundation @NORAHnorfolk]

New @NorfolkRO blog (https://t.co/k6AX8VV9nw) 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

[Norfolk Archives & Heritage Development Foundation @NORAHnorfolk]

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
