Bacton, Norfolk Genealogy

History
Bacton St Andrew is an Ancient Parish in the Diocese of Norwich and includes Keswick, Bromholm, Brimholm, and Bacton Green.

Bacton, in the middle ages, was home to Broomholm Priory, possessor of a substantial piece of the true cross and one of the largest pilgrimage centres in East Anglia. Due to the presence of the Priory the church is relatively modest.

Bacton is nowadays home to the giant landfall of the North Sea gas terminal and delivery pipeline for a large part of England.
