Its been a busy summer putting together a Stowupland Stories presentation about Saxham Street. There may have only been 30 houses in Saxham Street in the 19th century but that is still a lot of families to try to find out interesting details about. Most of what I spoke about in the presentation can be found in the web pages of SLHG.

The last 3 newsletters printed in Telstar can now be found in the Newsletters post box.

In June we have had talks by Julie Johnson about her research into the Paupers who calleed the Onehouse Workhouse home, a talk by Dr Shelona Klatzow about the Pilgrimages to Woolpit Shrine and a return visit from the Hallaways to give us an update on the Mendlesham Armory project.

The group also enjoyed a visit to the War Huts project at Brook Farm Camp, near Bury St Edmunds. Jerry has written a review of this visit in the September Telstar but don’t forget you can listen to his reviews in Jerry’s Jabbas.
