St. Mary the Virgin, Burgh-next-Aylsham, Norfolk
All Saints', Marsham
St Mary the Virgin, Burgh-next-Aylsham
The patronage of All Saints' Marsham was at one time held by the Buxton and
later by the Wathen families. The patronage was passed over to the then Bishop
of Norwich. In 1922 a union of benefice was made with the neighbouring parish
of Burgh-next-Aylsham, although both remain as separate parishes.
At the suggestion of the Company, in view of the former Mercer family link, a
scheme was approved under which the Company was given the right of presentation
jointly with the Bishop of Norwich and Mr J Murray Roberts, the former patron
of Burgh-next-Aylsham.
