Heritage Open Day: A drop-in session to see ‘work-in-progress’ on building the ‘Halesworth History Map’ showing the relationships between the people of this Suffolk market town, their life events, where they lived and worked, and the businesses that traded here. This is an opportunity to see the work being done within the Halesworth U3A Local History Group to map the people, building and businesses of Halesworth.
Simon Parker has been building a database of people, buildings and businesses over the last 9 months, with a view to it being available on computers within the study room of the Halesworth & District Museum (and eventually to the wider community via a website).
Kevin Wooldridge is a local archaeologist and genealogist who has researched the burial records of Halesworth Cemetery from 1850 to 1918, with insight to the social history of the town in the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
