I spent so many happy summer holidays in Great Barton, and in particular Conyers Green where my Aunt Norah Lovelace lived in a cottage next to the old chapel building. I cycled often to the village store/post office, and to my friend's parent's farm up the lane at the side of the cottage, their name was Rolfe and we had many... [more]

Charles came originally from Black Friars in London and was born in 1832.

Hello, I'm looking for a dear friend, his name was Robert Smith and he had a brother by the name of Peter Smith. I took Bob Smith to Australia in 1973, but I returned in 1975, leaving Bob out there.

Being born in a house opposite the Angel pub in 1952, and having a family history going back over 300 hundred years in the village, I think we were a local family. Those memories of the school holiday times will last a life time. Our favourite place was the Grundle and to this day you can still see remnants of the tree... [more]

I'm sure I remember a Harry Elmer......did he have a shop in Elmswell or did he rent out motor cars or even caravans from Woolpit?
I was born in Elmswell in 1947 and the name certainly rings a very loud bell and was constantly mentioned in our household at the time.

Hi there. Harry Elmer (who I understand was my GGrandad's brother) owned and ran this Mill into the 1940s. The Muggeridge Collection has some wonderful images of him replendent in the very gentlemanly working clothes of a miller of his ilk, and still working in his 80's. Anecdotally Elmers Mill in Woolpit and Drinkstone Mill close by were dead ringers for... [more]

I atended primary school in Walsham from 1953 to 1955, my father was stationed at Shepards Grove. We lived in West House about a mile out of town toward Bury St Edmonds. I enjoyed my time in school there. My wife and I made a trip back to places I lived at and we went through Walsham and I remembered most... [more]

Extracts From Conyers Green & Suffolk books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Conyers Green, inspired by Frith photos.
This former farmhouse, which dates from the 1480s, has a double jetty in the right cross wing. The central section still has remains of the open hall. The front has Edwardian mock timbering. The barn to the left is now a house called The Flints, in front of which part of the pond has been filled in.
This is an extract from Suffolk Living Memories.

Suffolk Villages Photographic Memories
The Vespa scooter (centre right) has just passed the turning to the Park, marked by the 18th-century Park Corner and Willow Cottages on the right. This leads into the former parkland of Great Barton Hall, sold in 1915 and gradually developed until the present day.
