It’s been a massively busy few months. I’ve just completed teaching my first assessed course for the new intermediate certificate run online by Pharos Tutors and the Society of Genealogists. The next one is on poor law records starting in February 2011. www.pharostutors.com
Also starting in February will be my series of House History workshops run in Norwich on Saturday mornings in collaboration with Dr. Sarah Edwards. Contact me for more information. Contact me for details.
I’ve also finished teaching a face to face course in Reepham, and have given a number of talks to different groups across Norfolk in the last couple of months.
Essex Record Office has just reopened after its annual stock take. The Norfolk Record Office is closed for stocktaking this week and next, so I’m catching up with the writing on my guide to tracing the history of a house. Also work in Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex. It would be helpful though if my car didn’t chose this moment to play up! It is incredibly difficult to get from Norwich to places like Bury St. Edmunds on public transport.
I’m really enjoying reading Trevor Yorke latest book. This one is on memorials, tombstones and burial practices throughout the centuries (Countryside Books, 2010). It’s definitely going on my reading list for my next course on burial and cemetery records with Pharos (Dead and Buried, But Not Forgotten).
