Having been busier than usual I am afraid that I have left
it rather late to report on the truly wonderful evening that was hosted in St.
Lawrence’s Church by the Little Waldingfield History Society on May 14.
A well filled church was transported through history by
local performers, Ancestral Voices, who, with great accomplishment related the
experiences of travellers through Suffolk from the sixteenth to eighteenth
centuries. Travel tales about one’s own
area are always interesting, seeing the
familiar through the eyes of a stranger, and this is even more true when one
travels back in time. I hope that we will see Ancestral Voices once again in
Little Waldingfield in the future.

The Society’s next even will have a really local focus. On 11th June the ever popular Pip
Wright will present Lady Alice de Bryene of Acton.
Andy Sheppard writes:-
Lady Alice was a Suffolk noblewoman who maintained a
complete record of food and drink consumed in her significant mediaeval
household between October 1412 and
September 1413. Somehow the record book
survived, and Pip will take us through the details and enthral us with his
piercing insight to this far away time.’
Proceedings start at 7.30 p.m. in the Parish Rooms, and I
suggest that you eat before you come.
