Barton Turf

The ecclesiastical parish of Barton Turf now forms part of the civil parish of Barton Turf and Irstead in North Norfolk and includes much of Barton Broad, the second largest of the Norfolk Broads. One of 26 parishes in Tunstead Hundred, in 1841 it had a population of around 400.

The Project

The Barton Turf History Project is an attempt to collate and reference as much material as possible about the history of Barton Turf.

It is very much a live project with comments, suggestions, information and material being welcomed (see the Help! page for more details).  The structure is dynamic and flexible, with changes being made as new information and material becomes available.

Many of the pages are incomplete, but may contain notes (in pale orange) of the type of material it is hoped to include.
