Holt Area Partnership

The Holt Area Partnership’s focus is to improve the quality of life for people in Holt and the surrounding area, as shown on our map – the twenty rural parishes contain over twenty five villages in North Norfolk, and our Parishes page gives local information.

How the Holt Area Partnership makes a difference
The main way that the Holt Area Partnership is able to help the local population is through supporting the delivery of a wide range of projects and encouraging partnerships. The projects are set up to respond to needs and they aim to provide tangible benefits to the area.

Projects may be social, economic or environmental – or all three! And they also have to be as cost-effective and sustainable as possible.

The Plumstead 2000 Fund

The Plumstead 2000 Fund is a registered charity and was established in May 1999 with the object of raising funds for conservation, environmental and charitable ventures for the village of Plumstead and surrounding area.
It started as a committee of the Parish Council to investigate ideas on how to celebrate the millennium. Almost immediately The Plumstead 2000 Fund was born. Its many achievements include the village millennium sign, the parish noticeboard, the bus shelter, a stage and hearing loop for Baconsthorpe village hall, tree/daffodil planting as well as generous financial contributions towards the repair of the Church bell and the renovation of the village pond. It has also presented 25 shows at Baconsthorpe village hall for the enjoyment of the local community

The current Trustees of the Fund are John Lintott and David Ramsbotham.

Money raising activities have been suspended for the time being but if you would like to support the Fund, or if you have any questions, please contact David Ramsbotham 01263 577418 david.ramsbotham@virgin.net

Baconsthorpe Castle

Baconsthorpelead

Set amongst farmland and a variety of footpaths, Baconsthorpe Castle is a magical find. On the mere you will see a variety of ducks and geese, and it is delightful to watch the families of these swimming about in spring and early summer.

The Heydons were an ambitious family.

Baconsthorpe Church

St Mary's Church, Baconsthorpe is the largest church in our Benefice, and is made of flint and freestone. White flints have been and squared  and laid in courses. These are intended to reflect the early morning and late evening sunshine which will catch the eye from a distance. The earliest parts of the present church date from the 13th century and stand on Saxon foundations. The windows of the south aisle contain the 15th century arms of the Heydon family in stained glass which were removed from Baconsthorpe Castle in the 17th century, and the window at the east end of the same aisle is completely blocked by the Heydon memorial.

The church has a treasure trove of interesting and unique features. Visit to see Chanticleer, the brasses and the Easter Sepulchre amongst others, and to be reminded of the time by the clock which chimes across the village, reminding us that time is constantly moving on...

St Mary's is part of the Barningham Benefice, and services are held twice monthly. Please see the Village diary page for details.
