Peter Northeast
Peter Northeast lived in Rattlesden but his children attended Stowupland High school.
He played a very important role in both researching and disseminating Local History. Not only did he share his knowledge but he also encourged other people to do their own research.
In 1973 The Workers’ Educational Association put on a course 12 lectures on many aspects of Local History in Stowupland. Peter Northeast was the tutor and the lectures were held in Stowupland Primary School. (The High School would not be built for another two years).
The reading list is worth checking out. We have many rough course notes in Ena Carter’s hand writing, read more
1973 was a time of petrol rationing

In 1979 Peter Northeast was one of 3 tutors for a weekend course exploring Non-Conformity in Suffolk. the other tutors were Gwen Dyke and William Sarjeant.
