Garboldisham History Society

Introduction

The Garboldisham History Society explores the history of the village, its people, and broader East Anglian history, through a series of talks and occasional exhibitions featuring our archives of photos and other material, such as old maps and metal detection finds. The Society also hosts a Facebook group for sharing photos, memories, and genealogical research. All are welcome at our meetings, which usually take place in Garboldisham Village Hall at 7.30pm on the third Thursday of the month and cost £4.
Please visit our Facebook page for other information.

As those who have enjoyed Georgette Hale’s presentations before will know, it will be more like a drama production than a talk. She will be celebrating Norwich-born Elizabeth Fry’s pioneering work as a philanthropist, social reformer, and the driving force behind 19th-century prison reform in Europe.
