The first register book of the parish of Old Buckenham in
Norfolk, 1560 to 1649; transcribed, edited, and indexed.
[Norwich, Goose, 1902]
Description and Travel
Reputed to have the largest village green in Britain, this in fact
forces Old Buckenham into a circular shape. It has its own Church
with graveyard. Old Buckenham has the Secondary School for the area,
which takes the pupils from its own Primary school, as well as the
neighbouring villages, including Banham and Kenninghall. It also has a
Castle, although this is normally (wrongly) attributed to New Buckenham
- mainly due to the fact that it is 2 miles from Old Buckenham, and a
stone's throw from New Buckenham. The bailey still stands and can be
visited by arrangement with the owner of the small garage in the
village. Old Buckenham has recently had a pub close, and now just has
the one by the village green.
