Carbrooke Heritage News March 2014

 





At our meeting on 19th February, we discussed how our Footpath project was progressing, we have sent in all our findings to UEA, although we have not heard anything back yet.

We are planning a trip to the Norfolk Records Office on 16 April, please get in contact if you would like to come along, so that we can arrange transport and entry.

We discussed how we can get involved with the Wayland Heritage project to commemorate WW1, and would like to hear from anyone who has family stories or family memories of how the war affected Carbrooke, family, employment, and after affects.

I have recently been contacted by an American couple whose family has connections to Carbrooke and Woodrising in the 1800’s (The Sayer Family), as they are visiting, we have invited them to look around our area, and to a tea party in the village, (5th or 6th of June, arrangements haven’t been finalised), again if anyone would like to get involved and meet with them, please get in contact. Although they have arranged to stay in a local bed and breakfast, if anyone would like to accommodate them for 3 nights, they would be delighted.

We have recently discovered that at the back of the Churchyard (on the left) we have a ‘Babies Graveyard’, this is where babies and young children would have been buried in years gone by, if they died before being baptised, there are no markers, but if anyone has knowledge of babies in their family being buried here, please let us know.
