F covers the myriad of Findings of an archeological nature within the Village boundaries.  A flint fossil found at Glenlodge Farm in 1983, was declared by the British Museum to have existed 100 million years before man - but had arrived in Bawburgh by glacial drift.  More "up to date", in 1941, Bronze Age pottery was found, again on the same farmland, during ploughing.  The area is now a Golf Course.  There are actually 76 archaeological finds or sites in the Parish of Bawburgh lodged at the Norfolk Landscape Archaeology Unit, but some of these are present-day listed Sites, but also many Roman finds - including a Roman Cremation Cemetery, which was the subject of "digs" in 1949 and 1971.  The Castle Museum at Norwich, looks after those findings.  F is also for the Rev. Thomas Albert Frost, Vicar of Bawburgh between 1938 and 1948 (see V is for the Vicars of Bawburgh).
