Here is the last instalment of titles from my bookshelf of second hand books on Norfolk local history: 'Glimpses of Fiddaman's Lynn' by Rosemary & Stan Rodliffe published in 2000 (ISBN 0 9539356 0 4). [Just to prove that I don't always buy second hand!] Based around the life story of James Fiddaman, an eventually wealthy publican at King's Lynn. If you ever wondered what your Victorian ancestors did for entertainment - whether they lived in Lynn or elsewhere in Norfolk - this is the book for you. A fascinating collection of true stories mentioning literally hundreds of people. My best read yet. If anyone is interested, I have an index of names. 'Yes M'Lady - at home with the Ansons 1888 - 1900' by June Mary Harris published by Pentland Press in 1997 (ISBN 1 85821 513 7). An 'upstairs - downstairs' perspective based on the reminiscences of 'Philly' - Winifred Philpott - personal maid to Lady Anson of Shugborough Hall, Staffordshire with some interesting insights into life at Holkham Hall. 'Norfolk Nostalgia: Little Sisters' by Mary Hill published by Stylus in 1990 (ISBN 1 85620 091 4). Memories of steam trains to Sheringham, cycle rides along quiet roads, Cromer, Great Yarmouth, Sunday School treats. From Christmas in Norwich as an 8 year old with grandad MARRISON to performing with Breckland Drama Group in the 1960's. 'Reminiscences of a Fenman' by James Taylor published in 1980. Born at Fence Bank in 1912, the youngest and only son of six children; school at Walpole Highway; apprenticed as a bricklayer in 1926. Lots of nice stories. Orphan pigs suckled by a cow; soakings in the dyke; one early evening being mistaken for a ghost as he climbed out of a newly finished brick grave in Tilney St. Lawrence churchyard; pranks in the Rose & Crown at Terrington St. John... 'A Fine Strong Boy' by Kath Fryer published by Hollinfare (ISBN 0 9526994 2 7). The biography of Henry L'Strange Styleman Le Strange (1815 - 1862) who lived at Hunstanton Hall and founded the town of Hunstanton.
