ALL SAINTS' PARISH ARCHIVES

At All Saints' we have quite a considerable amount of archive material, documents, papers, registers and photographs.  Much of the material is deposited in the Norfolk Records Office archive at Norwich, however, we do have a deposit in King's Lynn.  We are always pleased to receive any contributions towards the history of both the church and the parish.  If you have photographs or documents that we may borrow and copy, we would be pleased to hear from you - please contact the Rector, and we will arrange the safe collection and the return of your material.

 


Registers - The Parish Church of All Saints', South Lynn

Records of All Saints, South Lynn, deposited with the Norfolk Records Office by the Parochial Church Council on 16th February 1989 and the 18th May 1989. 

The amount of papers and documents which were delivered was vast because, as I understand it, Fr. Walter George Bridge, the incumbent and Rector from 1951 to 1988, had kept all the registers and documents in the Rectory - none had been surrendered for inclusion and safe keeping in the County Archives.  Consequently, some of the records became so affected by the humidity and the damp, and are so fragile, that we are no longer able to view them.
