Village Life
the story of Bridgham in Norfolk
by David O’Neale & Tony Dobbin
‘To open this lovely book is to draw very close to the pulse of England.’
Kevin Crossley-Holland
Once in a while a book comes along that manages to touch the heart and create a sense of something we cherish. Village Life – the story of Bridgham, a tiny village in the countryside of Breckland Norfolk, could do exactly that.
It
could well be the story of any number of
similar villages that make rural England what it is. The characters,
the events, the occasional scandal, of youngsters at play, the derring-do and the tragedies that came with
two
world wars. It’s all here, helping to shape people’s lives and the way
we live now.
The book’s 378 pages not only trace over 1,000 years of colourful history in words, but with nearly the same number of pictures, most in colour, it adds up to a hugely entertaining and enjoyable read.
