History Background…
Domesday Book 1086 to 1199
​The earliest description of Hethersett was in the Domesday Book of 1086. In the Domesday book it is referred to as Hederseta or Hederseeta
The Domesday Book lists Hethersett under three owners - Count Alan of Brittany and Godric the Steward.
The land belonging to Count Alan amounted to households involving nine villagers, 79 freemen, 12 small holders and two slaves. It included ploughland, meadowland, woodland and one mill and two churches. Livestock on his land amounted to 1 cob, five cattle, 87 sheep and 7 beehives. The tenant in chief was noted as Count Alan and the Lord was Ribald, Alan's brother. After the Norman Conquest, Count Alan numbered 592 places under his tutellige.
The land belonging to Godric The Steward included nine freemen and ploughland and meadowland. Another Godric the Steward listing featured 20 freemen and ploughland and meadowland.
Godric the Steward was a native Englishman and the steward of the Earl of East Anglia Ralph de Gael. He administered royal lands in Norfolk and Suffolk some of which were lands formerly held by Ralph before the earl's oarticipation in the Revolt of the Earls and subsequent loss of all his English landholdings. Godric also held lands in his own right including Hethersett. Godric was one of only 13 English tenants in chief listed in the Domesday Book. Godric also served William II as a steward and died around 1114.
The Domesday Book also mentions a church with its 60 acres of land, a handsome endowment: no Saxon or Norman work remains to be seen because of later rebuilding. The actual date of the first church building is not known but is obviously before 1086.
​There is also mention of a second church and this presumably applies to the church of Cantley, then a separate parish, of which nothing now remains except some mounds in a pasture to the north of Cantley Farm. This small parish was amalgamated with its larger neighbour in 1397 although the church was used as a chapel until the 16th Century.
Norfolk Heritage
An Iron Age coin, pottery and a Late Iron Age or Roman terret have been recovered.
At the edge of the parish is the site of a Roman settlement. Roman building material suggesting the presence of several buildings has been recovered from the site, as well as Roman coins, pottery and metal finds. In 1985 the remains of an infant in a lead coffin were discovered on the site. A geophysical assessment in 2003 revealed a series of Roman ditches and pits on the edge of the settlement. The features are probably related to quarrying and arable farming taking place close to the Roman settlement. A Roman road is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs, running through the parish from the Roman town of Venta Icenorum to Watton. Roman coins
Hethersett comes from the Old English meaning ‘settlement of the dwellers among the heather’, or ‘heather fold’. The site of an Early Saxon cemetery has been revealed through metal detecting, and Early Saxon brooches and other metal finds have been recovered from the site. In 1086 Hethersett was held by Count Alan and Godric the Steward, and is recorded as a large and valuable holding, with two churches and over eighty freemen. Metal detecting has also recovered a number of Late Saxon finds, including a brooch a stirrup mount, a strap end and a bridle cheek-piece. A Late Saxon brooch designed as an imitation Roman coin has also been found.
The deserted medieval village of Cantley is also mentioned in the Domesday Book, when it was held by the King.
A medieval moat in the grounds of Thickthorn Hall was the site of the manor house of Alan de Thickthorn in the 13th century. The moat was extended to form an artificial lake in the early 19th century. Medieval finds from the parish include coins, pottery and metal finds such as a pilgrim badge in the shape of a woman holding a feather and a branch.
Kett’s Oak, on the side of the main Norwich to Wymondham road, is locally reputed to be the site where Robert Kett addressed the rebels in 1549.
Thickthorn Hall is an early 19th century mansion surrounded by a small landscape park with a 19th century kitchen garden, lodges and concrete greenhouses from the 1930s. An unusual late 18th century octagonal barn stands in the grounds of the Hall.

Good video, I also still use the 0.71 update and the Magnet program. I like this one best. 👍

[@NorfolkButtonBoyMetalDetecting]

Good choice!

[@soberdetectorists]

Brilliant video Jason, amazing gold cufflinks.. just a quick one - we have been using your magnet program for ages now and found some amazing finds even a silver denarius. Just punches through trashy areas. but since the new update when putting the magnet program back in do we leave the silencer and bottle caps and audio filter n notch as standard and the others... just maybe me but was amazing on 7.1 ... thanks

[@NorfolkButtonBoyMetalDetecting]

I feel I don’t miss much with the Magnet program on 0.71 hence why I’m still on it, I’m finding cut quarters at good depths and that is enough confirmation for me 👍🏻

[@marinabrennecke5495]

I found the same buckle in Germany shown at 14:20.

[@jamesaitchison3750]

[@kevinlemon7787]

Great video , nice finds

[@NorfolkButtonBoyMetalDetecting]

Thank you Kevin 👍🏻

[@matthewwatters5870]

A great sign with a hammered I think the gold said it all not even 2 holes and hammereds awesome but gold is gold

[@carolh9734]

Lovely day of good weather, great scenery and interesting finds. Seems unusual that you got a whole cuff link, I've only seen tham come up in odd bits, whoever lost that would have been a bit miffed. Agree with dafy ,it's a electrical terminal. We bought some bigger ones recently to attach solar panels to leisure battery. Hope the charity dig goes well. Looking forward to your video of that. And hope Rio has good response to his new role.

[@NorfolkButtonBoyMetalDetecting]

Thank you for watching and identification help, I’ve never gold ones or complete ones, great surprise

[@briansparks8528]

Great video thanks and well done on the charity dig wishing you plenty of good finds scenery looks like it could have been fox hunting territory so could be some gold coins lost 😊

[@BMW7series251]

Amazing finds BB. Will you be filming the charity dig? Cheers, John.
