WELCOME

Currently a trustee for the Noël Coward Foundation that supports projects designed to support young people wanting to enter the world of entertainment. Largely theatre, writing, composition and dance.

Plus a private link to Family History requiring a password for access. Details of four families of antecedents are summarised in their dedicated pages with background on the discoveries to date. We have added a letters page that contains scans of letters found from the papers of some of the families (more are always welcome). And a page that contains scans of all of the certificates that I have at the moment. The Family Pages

Other interests are in Norwich and Norfolk Gardening Clubs and the local Hellesdon Horticultural Association where I also help to manage the local Community Choir. Also a singer with the Norwich MOJO Band with a collecting passion for guitars, amplifiers and other band kit.

LATEST NEWS

The Community tag has disappeared and a link is included in the Performance Page. The link goes to the Hellesdon Community Choir that Beryl and I help organise.

Performance: We have re-jigged the Performance Page so that there is more info about the different generations of performers. Hope to have some more information about Paul Askew's work at the BBC and his musical performances as a player as well.

Family History: We have been contacted by two family members. As a result of this contact we have a new page as part of our Family Pages

Bagshot Park: there is a new page with images of Bagshot Park where one of our ancestors in the KNOWLES family was Head Gardener. We hope to add images of Friars Park as well where another KNOWLES ancestor was Head Gardener.
