Recorder's Open Day 2010 
Polstead Recorder’s Open Day 2010


The Recorders would like to thank all those who supported and took part in the very successful Open Day on Sunday 14 November.

The event aroused much local interest (as well as some visitors from outside the area) and once again the Census transcripts, Burial records and old photographs were well thumbed. 
Amongst the material on show were also records featuring the Church Organ, the Military Survey, brewing at Brewery farm and Tithe maps.
As the picture shows, the projector was in use showing a DVD of photographs on a continuous loop which was followed by a 30 minute film of clips from the Suffolk Film Archive about Suffolk’s WWII airfields and farming in the war.

 

This event is likely to be an annual fixture in the village.

Meanwhile, if you have any record material that you think would be of interest to us (Anne is particularly interested in records about Polstead School and old pubs in Polstead), do make contact; and if you would like to consult the records we have, do give us a ring.

 


But more importantly can you help us on our next project?


The War Memorial
As this year’s event was on the afternoon of Remembrance Sunday, the Recorders initiated a new project to research the stories behind the names of Polstead’s fallen heroes displayed on the War Memorial.
And for this we need help from anyone who can contribute names, photographs, memorabilia, family anecdotes or anything else that will help to fill out the details behind the names.

These are the names we will honour – please help our Recorders tell the stories next year.

(Already two people at the event have mentioned some facts to us so we are on the way)
