Norfolk memories
The Bell
My name is Ann Jones. I live in the USA I was formerly Ann Groom, my dad Sydney Groom and mother Mildred kept The Snoring Bell. I remember the Whiteheads down the street on the farm, and going to Little Snoring School - my teachers were Donny Garrett, Mrs Catchpole and Mrs Leach. I had lots of friends and some of my best memories ever. When I go back home now everything is so different - those were the good old days!
My Memories of Hindringham
I was born in Hindringham to Eva and John (Jack) Smith and attended the village school (the one at the foot of Church Hill). The principal was Miss Flood and the infant teacher Miss McDonald. My mother ran the village shop (this is now a B & B and prior to this the Post Office - run and owned by my eldest sister Florence). Dad had a smallholding near Field House. The shop was often a meeting place for young and not so young. Mum would open up at seven'ish in the mornings for the newspapers and supplied paper rounds to Binham and Thursford. Hardware, oil, paraffin, cigarettes, confectionary and soft drinks were also sold and Mum owned two petrol pumps for the sale of petrol which used to be pumped by hand. The village had its own bakery (Mr Gaskin) postman ('Sausage' Martin), Vicar (Mr Kewely and then Mr Tugwell), coal supplier (Howard Bros), grocery shop (Mr Temple) and Mr Guymer would sell groceries from his horse and cart....

My Childhood Years
Hi everyone, I'd like to say that I spent a great deal of time in Hindringham when I was growing up. I had 2 sets of grandparents who lived there and2 aunts and cousins Alfred and Laura Martins and Eva and Billy Howell, an Aunt Enid, Aunt Milly and many cousins. I rememeber the walks from The Elms to Bale Road in the dark and being scared to death as we lived in a town where it was all lit up. I remember the old shop and the bakery and everyone laughing at my accent as it was more Londoner. I was christened in St Martin's Church and have many relations there. If anyone knows of my family please contact me on: suziewong2022334@aol.com
The Long Family - Hindringham
Although not from Hindringham myself, I am the last of the Long family, who for many generations lived in Hindringham. My Grandfather Alex, Great Aunt May, and Great Uncle Ezra were just a few of my family, who, no doubt, will still be remembered by some of the Hindringham residents. Great Aunt May was a difficult lady at times! Although with much sadness in her life, it is understandable. I have done much research and I would love to hear from anyone, that knew my family.

The Long Family, Hindringham
I have been researching my family history and have traced the family tree back to Robert Long, born in Hindringham in 1798. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has been carrying out genealogical research into the same family. David Long.
BIRTHDAY/FUN THINGS I LOVE
It was February 10th 1999 I was born, it was 8:35am. My mom is Alixes Tuthill, my dad is John Tuthill the 5th. I am 10 years old right now, in 5th grade, Ms Schoreder's class, and my memory is of when I was 6 years old and I started cheerleading for the first time and fell in love with it. I am now going on my 5th year and it still is fun. I can't wait for people to be a cheerleader like me, it's lots of FUN.
East Barsham Manor
The manor house was occupied by the army during the Second World War and not released until about 1946. My friends and I often cycled from Walsingham and we found the manor deserted. The entrance hall is well remembered with a large minstrels' gallery at the east end. The most exciting room was, probably still is, the most western first floor room which has a hidden spiral stairway within a turret leading to the floor below. Years later I purchased a 19th-century print of the manor to remind me of this memory.
