PHOTOGRAPHS BELOW THE RED LINE COME FROM A MAGAZINE DATED 27TH JANUARY 1900.

AS THEY HAVE BEEN COPIED FROM PAPER THE QUALITY MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS PREVIOUS PHOTOGRAPHS

PERMISSION HAS BEEN GRANTED FROM THE COUNTRY LIFE MAGAZINE TO DISPLAY THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT COME FROM THERE JANUARY 27TH 1900 EDITION.

Thanks for your email. I am happy to grant permission for the use of the images of Thornham published by Country Life on the village website. I am afraid there are no additional images held in the Library.
