Village journey down through ages
Piddinghoe Through The Centuries will take people from the 13th century to the mid 20th century.
It will be an expanded version of the 2005 exhibition and will include a new topic, Tracing the History of your House, a history of St John's Church and some new material for each century. Copies of all the church registers and censuses for each decade from 1841-1901 will be on display as well as newspaper extracts from 1761, extracts from Manor Court books and 170 wills.
