For the ‘Living History’ project, we will soon be approaching Carbrooke residents, to enquire if you are willing to take part, and ask if we could take a photo of your house, and whether you have any further interesting information of its history. (we have many different house styles in Carbrooke as a broad representation of British building styles over the centuries, so a selection of all house styles will be very interesting – (not just the old ones)! We also hope residents on the Norwich Road Estates will be keen to take part too. The properties will be plotted onto a map to create a ‘history’ of our community as it is now. The information will be compiled into a book later in the year.
We have been
approached by a lady from America, who claims descent from Matilda of Clare
(the founder of Carbrooke Church). She would like to visit Carbrooke and find
out more of its history. If anyone would like to join us in greeting her on 11th
May in Carbrooke Church, please contact me for more details. Following this, on
20th July, Helen Riley will
be presenting her talk on ‘Carbrooke and the Knights Hospitallers’ for the
Trefoil Society. Anyone else is welcome to attend in the Church at 2pm. It is a
fascinating talk, if you have never had the opportunity to attend before.
On Friday 17th
June, 7.30pm. Tom Thurston will be presenting a talk
‘The History of
the Heavy Horse’, in the Village Hall.
All welcome.
Bar & Raffle

Our next
meeting will be held on Monday 9th May, 7pm In Carbrooke Church.
