After half a century devoted to heraldic scholarship, in March 2024 the Norfolk Heraldry Society decided it would cease operation.
This will take effect in its anniversary year, 2025. Further details will be posted on this page in due course
From its foundation, the Society has published a learned journal, the Norfolk Standard. The whole series has been digitised and republished by the Heraldry Society under its Heraldry Archive programme, as part of the library Journals of Local and Specialist Heraldry Societies: East Anglia. See: Heraldry Archive Media.
In 2001 the Norfolk Heraldry Society initiated a detailed account of the heraldry in Norfolk churches, the first since Edmund Farrer’s Church Heraldry of Norfolk of 1887. Although incomplete, Heraldry in Norfolk Churches is being prepared together with Farrer’s survey and Francis Blomefield’s Topographical History of the County of Norfolk as a digital library for the Heraldry Archive, provisionally titled: Church Heraldry in Norfolk. This will include cumulative indices for locations and named arms covering all three works.
The website of the Norfolk Heraldry Society has been taken offline; anyone with links to it should redirect them to this page.
