As I write this we have had our August Archive evening. It was interesting to see what others have in their archives. There just was not enough time to to talk with everyone and study what they had brought. Some visitors from Stowmarket had material that is of interest to us in Stowupland, whilst local people shared photos of their relatives and the homes they once lived in.

One visitor kindly donated a framed print that his family no longer wanted of a 1909 testimonial to a former deputy head master of what is now known as  Freeman’s Community School. In 1909 the school was known as aa Stowupland Council School. To read more about this ‘illuminated address see John Petley
