The following website interested me as it concerns two of my passions, historic churches and classic cars. A rally is to be held today. Starting from Norwich,...

Interesting Stephen! I wonder if the "Parson Woodforde" pub could be persuaded to stock their products? Probably be a bit pricey to import, sadly! Â Happy new...

Yes, an intriguing mystery. This was brought to my attention a year or so ago by Martin Brayne of the Parson Woodforde Society. Family legend paints Heighes as...
I'm afraid the picture you get from the diary of both Heighes and his brother John was that they were idle, drunk most of the time and forever trying to borrow...
The church is certainly worth a visit at the moment, as it is beautifully decorated with flowers. A few pictures are in the Weston Longville photo album. Dave....
