Parish and Free Church registers held in the NRO.
Note that although the list may say registers run from 1600-1994 that there may be missing registers. Though NRO do seem to be very good in that regard, because I know there are missing registers for Palling and the baptism registers held are listed as 1616-1710, 1779-1902.

Firstly, extremely beleated thanks to Mitch for those suggestions.
I've added a few more resources to my original post. I must have well over a hundred bookmarks for Norfolk so there's still more to come. Obviously they are in a non-alphabetical order, and half of them are now out of date so it's taking me a while to sort through them. (It's one of those 'think about it tomorrow' jobs! Especially as all of my bookmarks need a really good overhaul.)
Quick way to get my Norfolk bookmarks in alpha order. Delete them as I post them in here, and then just re-bookmark them. Or even simpler - just bookmark this page!

Bump, because I've added some more links. (Still got over a hundred more to sort through.)
Whilst sorting through the still-outstanding bookmarks I have, I've found that some of the links I've already posted don't work as they should. .
Once I've got everything properly sorted I will be checking all the links again.
