Earlier this week, Little Waldingfield History Society
welcomed 35 visitors from Lyon in France, all of whom are members of their local history
society. Among their number were
decendents of the Appleton family that originally came from Little Waldingfield, and
lived in Holbrook Hall.
The visit to
Little Waldingfield was arranged after the group organiser, a lecturer from
the University of Lyon, wrote to LWHS asking whether it would be possible to
arrange a trip to ‘Appleton Manor’. It seems that
the Appleton family has at least two descendants living in France, one line
being traced through an American branch of the family.
The happy event is described in detail on the ‘French visit’
tab above. Many thanks to Andy Sheppard
for the article.
