Punishment of Whoremongers (In-Person Event)

IN-PERSON EVENT

Thanks to the support of the Norfolk Archives and Heritage Development Foundation, and the help of a team of volunteers, the NRO has recently conserved and catalogued a box of eighteenth-century penance records. Relating to the punishments given by the main church court in Norfolk and Suffolk, they provide a wonderful insight into the relationship between the established church and the lives of ordinary people. As a result we now have a greater understanding of how the church courts worked and have uncovered many interesting stories.

All in-person events have been subject to a COVID risk assessment. If you are visiting the Norfolk Record Office we ask that you please take note of the following:

• Please consider wearing a facemask if encouraged to do so by staff (the use of facemasks will be advised for events with over 30 attendees)

• Use hand sanitizer on entering the building/room

• Do not attend an event if you have any COVID-19 symptoms

In return we will do the following:

• Provide facemasks for anyone without one (in the case of events of over 30 people)

• Clean touch points before the session starts

• Open the windows in the room to allow for good air circulation

In-person events will only run depending on the current government guidelines at the time. Please check the website in case of cancellations or amendments.

There is limited parking on the Norfolk County Council campus, when you book your ticket you will be asked to provide a car registration number if travelling by car.

This is a hybrid event, with a small in-person audience at The Archive Centre and an online audience. You can book a place for the online audience here
