Recently Released Darsham Books:
The PCC has published a third book, written by the Local History
Recorder, Ron Reeve and called "When Constabulary Duty's to Be
Done", the book tells how in 1914, the small county of East
Suffolk suddenly became a militarised zone, was bombed from the
air, bombarded from the sea and how this affected the people and
how the East Suffolk Police dealt with situations previously
unimagined.
The second Darsham local history book The Watch that Ends the Night
has been favourably reviewed by the Suffolk Local History
Council:
"We are taken from Domesday to the Millennium
with tales of the fortunes of the people of Darsham, their
struggles with the land and the weather, the coming of the railway,
education and life in a rural community. Liberally illustrated with
photographs and information gleaned from well-researched sources,
including Subsidy Returns of 1524, to records of Blything
Workhouse, to the National Farm Survey of 1941. This book will be
appreciated by local and family historians with an interest in the
village of Darsham"
