More about this scene

This old shepherd, plodding on to Walsingham market, has been enjoying a glass of ale in the White Hart. His sheep have just been sheared, and are watched over by his dog in the foreground. An open-roofed car waits patiently outside the pub while the shepherd guides his flock up the road towards the tiny village. They are about to pass East Barsham Manor, a gloomy, Gothic house which is said to be haunted.

Since then I have visited East Barsham a couple of times, taken photos from the gate, on return to Norfolk from New Zealand where we now live. I have been very involved in Ancestry since 2008, only last year came ...see more

Post War East Barsham
You may like to know that I today attended the funeral of the chatelaine of The Manor, Lady Valerie Guinness. After the war my father Peter bought the rectory at Sculthorpe about three miles from East Barsham and the house where he was born. His father had been the rector there for the early years of the last century. Val North was daughter of Roger and Pam North of Rougham; we grew up together, born in ...see more

My Early Years In Barsham
I actually lived in West Barsham and attended the primary School in East Barsham from September 1930 to July 1937. The walk to the village school took me past the Manor House, which always looked dark and forbidding, shrouded as it was in the massive beech tres that grew behind the wall, bordering the main road. No one that I knew had ever been inside the wall, and I had no idea what the grounds were ...see more

East Barsham Manor 1929 Photograh
The 1929 photograph was taken when my stepfather's father, Douglas J Coleman owned it. His father, Edward J. Coleman, bought it in 1915, the year my stepfather was born. This is where he (Peter Hales-Coleman) and his brother grew up. The family moved from there in the early 1930s. Back then, there were more than a 1000 acres of land with it. In 1959, I had the opportunity to visit the ...see more

All our photos are printed as optimised versions of their originals, this process can take anything from 15 minutes to several hours. This ensures that the product you get shows the true quality that Frith photos are renowned for.

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
