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.

Admission is 2 and all profits will be shared between the Friend's of St John's and the village hall. The exhibition, which is organised by Piddinghoe resident and local historian Valerie Mellor, takes place at the village hall today (Friday) from 2-5pm and tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday from 11am-5pm.
