Great Ellingham One-Place Study presents 'GREAT ELLINGHAM CONNECTED'
The Crown Public House, 30 Church Street, Great Ellingham, Attleborough, Norfolk, NR17 1LE
An inspired local history exhibition following the Heritage Open Days theme of Routes - Networks - Connections. Held in the historic Crown Public House, the eye-catching presentation will include extracts from the Great Ellingham Inclosure Map c.1802, showing the routes of the roads at that time, as well as fourteen centuries old footways.
Social networking is not a new phenomenon. In the past, (and even without the likes of social media), ‘social networking’ took place in other ways. You will see imaginatively illustrated articles about some of Great Ellingham’s 19th and 20th centuries clubs, societies and meeting places, showing the interactions within the community. There will be an impressive display of some 140 village field names, many with centuries old origins. Visitors will learn of the connection of these field names to the village today. The relationships between village families will be revealed by a fascinating table display of family trees, which will highlight some of these historical connections. There will also be an opportunity to electronically view images of past village people and buildings, and to learn more about the history of the Crown Public House.
Information and help will be available for those visitors wishing to begin a family history journey! For our younger visitors, there will be Great Ellingham table top games (created especially for this event), as well as colouring sheets.
