SH/DSB 30 April 2014 Dear Parents/Guardians Re: Proposed Trip for Year 7 to Castles in Norfolk, 24 June 2014 Year 7 has been studying the Middle Ages this year. A significant part of this study has been looking closely at castles – their importance, how they were built, developments in their construction, how they were attacked by besieging forces, how they were designed to withstand sieges, etc. There’s no better way of consolidating classroom knowledge of such a topic as this than research in the field. It is therefore proposed to take the entire year to Norfolk to visit Castle Rising, an excellent example of a stone keep castle, and Castle Acre, an equally good example of a castle which developed over several hundred years in the later medieval period. The village of Castle Acre also contains the remains of Castle Acre Priory, which was an important medieval ecclesiastical establishment prior to the dissolution of the monast eries by Henry VIII in the 1530s. Furthermore, the entire village is still laid out in the original medieval street plan, although most early houses have now gone. Half the group will visit Castle Rising first and the remainder Castle Acre Priory. Both groups will meet at the large site of Castle Acre for a picnic lunch, after which a swap over will take place. The cost will be £15-20 per student, depending on exact numbers (you can write to the Head Teacher in confidence for financial assistance). No payment is required at present, but we do need a firm commitment of attendance at this stage to consolidate planning for this valuable excursion. Accordingly, please complete the attached permission slip and return it to the school office letterbox (not in an envelope) by Friday 9 May. Yours faithfully Mr S Howie History Teacher Head Teacher: Mr M Brown Grammar School Walk, Hitchin, Hertfordshire.

Norfolk Through a Lens
NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service 2 NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service History and Background The systematic collecting of photographs of Norfolk really began in 1913 when the Norfolk Photographic Survey was formed, although there are many images in the collection which date from shortly after the invention of photography (during the 1840s) and a great deal which are late Victorian. In less than one year over a thousand photographs were deposited in Norwich Library and by the mid- 1990s the collection had expanded to 30,000 prints and a similar number of negatives. The devastating Norwich library fire of 1994 destroyed around 15,000 Norwich prints, some of which were early images. Fortunately, many of the most important images were copied before the fire and those copies have since been purchased and returned to the library holdings. In 1999 a very successful public appeal was launched to replace parts of the lost archive and expand the collection. Today the collection (which was based upon the survey) contains a huge variety of material from amateur and informal work to commercial pictures. This includes newspaper reportage, portraiture, building and landscape surveys, tourism and advertising. There is work by the pioneers of photography in the region; there are collections by talented and dedicated amateurs as well as professional art photographers and early female practitioners such as Olive Edis, Viola Grimes and Edith Flowerdew. More recent images of Norfolk life are now beginning to filter in, such as a village survey of Ashwellthorpe by Richard Tilbrook from 1977, groups of Norwich punks and Norfolk fairs from the 1980s by Paul Harley and re-development images post 1990s.

Castle Acre Priory Precinct Wall
Castle Acre precinct wall NHER 4096 Castle Acre Priory Precinct Wall Introduction The Cluniac priory at Castle Acre was founded in 1089 and built to the west of the planned town, divided from it by the parish church (Impey 2008). The conventual buildings of which there are extensive remains stood towards the eastern and southern edges of a large precinct of approximately 14 hectares bordered to the east and to the north by tall flint walls with shorter sections connected to the gatehouse on the west and alongside the river to the south. The western extent of the precinct is no longer defined but partly shown on Blomefield’s plan (fig.2). The open area was clearly an outer court with the buildings which housed various economic activities now expressed with earthworks. To the south west of the conventual buildings a mill and granary along with a barn and malting buildings have been excavated (Wilcox 2002). These were supplied with water from the river through channels across the precinct, through the reredorter,1 fish pond and kitchen to the mill and brewery beyond. Evidence was found of the complex having been served by a canal connecting to the river further downstream (Fig. 1). The north part of the outer precinct is devoid of earthworks and was used for cultivation. It is quite likely that the prime site was used for cultivation from the first. Fig. 1. Plan of site (Cushion 1995). 1 The waste which went into the southern narrow channel beneath the reredorter was diverted Into a stone- lined channel which led to the river (Fig.1).
