						1 Olive Edis, photographer. Exhibition Stories of Lynn 1st October, 2017 10:00am – 4:30pm Town Hall Saturday Market Place PE30 5DQ Olive Edis was one of the most important photographers of the early 20th century. At the height of her career she photographed the full spectrum of British society, from local fishermen and their families to prime ministers, royalty, scientists and artists. She was an exceptional portrait artist, a pioneer of new technologies, a successful business owner, and the first British woman to be appointed as an official war photographer. Edis died in 1955, leaving the contents of her studio to her assistant Cyril Nunn who cared for the collection until it was acquired by Cromer Museum in 2008. In the 60 years since her death Edis has been largely forgotten by history, and her huge contribution to British photography sadly overlooked. Thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Olive Edis Project at Cromer Museum aims to raise awareness of Edis’ work and give her inspirational story the recognition it deserves. The Road to Ypres: The War Photography of Olive Edis explores the unique collection of photographs taken by Edis during her month long tour of war-torn Europe in March 1919. Edis was approached in 1918 by the Imperial War Museum’s Women’s Work Sub- Committee with a commission to photograph the work of the British Women’s Services in Europe. Although the trip was delayed due to the precarious military situation in 1918 and some opposition to sending a woman to photograph an active war zone, in 1919 she travelled to France armed with her large plate camera, becoming the first British woman to be commissioned as an official war photographer, and one of only five British photographers ever commissioned to cover the First World War. Throughout the journey she kept a fascinating diary of her adventures where she recorded the stories behind the photographs and her reactions to the destruction that she saw all around her.

An isolated retiree with strict principles and a short fuse, who spends his days enforcing block association rules that only he cares about, and visiting his wife’s grave, Ove has given up on life. Enter a boisterous young family next door who accidentally flattens Ove’s mailbox while moving in and earning his special brand of ire. Yet from this inauspicious beginning an unlikely friendship forms and we come to understand Ove’s past happiness and heartbreaks. What emerges is a heart warming tale of unreliable first impressions and the gentle reminder that life is sweeter when it’s shared.

Exhibition Stories of Lynn 14th October, 2017 10:00am – 4:30pm Town Hall Saturday Market Place PE30 5DQ Olive Edis was one of the most important photographers of the early 20th century. At the height of her career she photographed the full spectrum of British society, from local fishermen and their families to prime ministers, royalty, scientists and artists. She was an exceptional portrait artist, a pioneer of new technologies, a successful business owner, and the first British woman to be appointed as an official war photographer. Edis died in 1955, leaving the contents of her studio to her assistant Cyril Nunn who cared for the collection until it was acquired by Cromer Museum in 2008. In the 60 years since her death Edis has been largely forgotten by history, and her huge contribution to British photography sadly overlooked. Thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Olive Edis Project at Cromer Museum aims to raise awareness of Edis’ work and give her inspirational story the recognition it deserves. The Road to Ypres: The War Photography of Olive Edis explores the unique collection of photographs taken by Edis during her month long tour of war-torn Europe in March 1919. Edis was approached in 1918 by the Imperial War Museum’s Women’s Work Sub- Committee with a commission to photograph the work of the British Women’s Services in Europe. Although the trip was delayed due to the precarious military situation in 1918 and some opposition to sending a woman to photograph an active war zone, in 1919 she travelled to France armed with her large plate camera, becoming the first British woman to be commissioned as an official war photographer, and one of only five British photographers ever commissioned to cover the First World War. Throughout the journey she kept a fascinating diary of her adventures where she recorded the stories behind the photographs and her reactions to the destruction that she saw all around her.

To book a place place email email hidden; JavaScript is required George Borrow (1803–1881) was born in East Dereham, Norfolk, had part of his education at Norwich Grammar School, and spent much of his life in East Anglia. He became a best-selling author with The Bible in Spain (1843), a brilliant account of five remarkable years spent in the Peninsula, and followed this with two semi-autobiographical works: Lavengro (1851), meaning ‘Word-Master’, and its sequel, The Romany Rye (1857) — ‘The Gypsy Gentleman’. His last major work was Wild Wales (1862), one of the best books of its time on Wales. He is still admired for his inspirational writings on Gypsies, and for his evocation of an earlier England, that of 1825, and of Wales in the 1850s, the latter coloured by his enthusiasm for its medieval literature, and his abhorrence of its ‘dark, satanic mills’. The society was founded to promote his life and works George Borrow Society Conference Heritage Skills Study Day 14th October, 2017 10:00am – 3:30pm St Nicholas Chapel St Ann's St King's Lynn, PE30 1LT An opportunity to 'go behind the scenes' and learn about some key historic building in King's Lynn.

Exhibition Stories of Lynn 22nd October, 2017 10:00am – 4:30pm Town Hall Saturday Market Place PE30 5DQ Olive Edis was one of the most important photographers of the early 20th century. At the height of her career she photographed the full spectrum of British society, from local fishermen and their families to prime ministers, royalty, scientists and artists. She was an exceptional portrait artist, a pioneer of new technologies, a successful business owner, and the first British woman to be appointed as an official war photographer. Edis died in 1955, leaving the contents of her studio to her assistant Cyril Nunn who cared for the collection until it was acquired by Cromer Museum in 2008. In the 60 years since her death Edis has been largely forgotten by history, and her huge contribution to British photography sadly overlooked. Thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Olive Edis Project at Cromer Museum aims to raise awareness of Edis’ work and give her inspirational story the recognition it deserves. The Road to Ypres: The War Photography of Olive Edis explores the unique collection of photographs taken by Edis during her month long tour of war-torn Europe in March 1919. Edis was approached in 1918 by the Imperial War Museum’s Women’s Work Sub- Committee with a commission to photograph the work of the British Women’s Services in Europe. Although the trip was delayed due to the precarious military situation in 1918 and some opposition to sending a woman to photograph an active war zone, in 1919 she travelled to France armed with her large plate camera, becoming the first British woman to be commissioned as an official war photographer, and one of only five British photographers ever commissioned to cover the First World War. Throughout the journey she kept a fascinating diary of her adventures where she recorded the stories behind the photographs and her reactions to the destruction that she saw all around her.

In 1412, one of those same merchant-burgesses caricatured the rising class of artisans, who were then struggling to gain a political voice, as ‘cobblers, tailors, etc.: unfit people, twenty of them not worth a penny’. New research based on the borough’s leet court rolls – the most socially inclusive record surviving from late medieval Lynn – sheds new light on these ‘discords and strifes’, and also reveals which parts of the town were most and least wealthy, and which areas were favoured by (for example) rich merchants, commercial brewers, industrial workers, immigrants and prostitutes.
