Norfolk Parish Links
Here are more links for Norfolk parishes.
They are in this separate page - which is linked from every
parish page - to give a common format, and so that it is not necessary to
add direct links from the parish pages. Such links are often very long,
with multiple parameters which tend to change. Also, there are other sites
which are not arranged in such a way that links can be made directly to
individual parishes. This collection of links lets you explore
the sites yourselves, and you may find more information by exploring
than by following a direct link.
The links will also be found under their appropriate topic headings in
Genuki Norfolk, where there is more information. You can access the rest
of Genuki Norfolk (and the Genuki England pages) via the icons at the top
of this page. You can also use the Contents & Search icon to
search for names, places and topics.

- Monumental Inscriptions, from Family Search
These are scanned images of transcriptions made by the Norfolk Women's
Institute in the 1980s. There are about 240 burial sites online.
Direct links from the parish pages to the transcriptions are not
possible, because of the complexity of the web addresses, and because
they change quite often.
- Monumental Inscriptions, from Find A Grave
In October 2014 there were about 1000 burial sites online for Norfolk.
They are difficult to count because some sites are included twice, with
different names. For those sites which are included, coverage ranges
from just one grave, to several hundred. There are some photographs.
Not all gravestones may be included, even when a site is marked
as complete, for example when stones are not legible enough to
be photographed.
