St.Cuthberts Church and Spring Walks and the Hailing Path
I was born in Thetford in 1953 and lived there until I was 19 .I have extremely fond memories of my time as a chorister at St.Cuthberts Church and used to love the river.I remember my grandparents Ethel and Bert Wiseman telling me that they first met on Hailing Path in site of the Town Bridge.I used to canoe along that stretch towards the Mill pond and the 'Iron Bridges'.There was also the time I spent working on the Spring Walks when I used to help with the hiring of the Rowing Boats and had a very happy two years helping people learn to row.

my love of thetford
When I moved to thetford I met loads of friends and I enjoyed my school years at Rosemary Musker High. I enjoyed working at the market and I loved going out to the old mill at the weekends. As I now live in Scotland, Thetford will always be a special place in my heart.

Extracts From Thetford & Norfolk books
St Cuthbert’s is a medieval church that was entirely rebuilt after its tower fell in 1851. On the right is the 1884 post office; its decorative detailing recalls the ancient East Anglian tradition of pargetting. Thetford enjoyed a high standing a millennium ago – in the 11th century it was the seat of the East Anglian bishopric. However, unlike the more northerly Norfolk towns, it never grew into a major agricultural centre – the soils here are poor.

In the market place is the Guildhall, rebuilt in 1900. Inside is a splendid collection of a hundred portraits of members of great East Anglian families, which were bequeathed by the antiquary Prince Frederick Duleep Singh. It is market day, and the bystanders are waiting for transport to carry them back to their villages.
