St Benet’s Abbey, artist John Sell Cotman – one of Norfolk’s first monasteries and the only one in England to survive the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1530s.  Included in a visit by the Local History Group in June 2019.

LOCAL HISTORY GROUP 2022

(1st Thursday morning monthly)

This group continued to run on zoom for much of the 2020/21 lockdowns until in June 2021 the group met al fresco in Sheringham Park on our garden chairs enjoying coffee and the pleasure of being with others.  We gathered quite a number of zoom members during that time and the popularity of the group has been growing ever since, so much so it is reaching the point to look at the possibility of starting another Local History group for NNu3a. 

In September 2021 we returned to the Lighthouse Church in Sheringham for our meetings until December and we are back at the Lighthouse Church in Sheringham for our first meeting in 2022 on 3rd February which will be a member-led presentation relating to Buxton in Norfolk.

The current programme planned for 2022 is:

Feb   Members talk about Buxton

Mar   Holy Footsteps – The Medieval Pilgrimage to Walsingham – Talk – Matt Champion

Apr   Norwich based Architect, George Skipper – Talk – Susan Riddle
