Join us for our inaugural online quiz evening.

Grab yourself a drink and settle down to test your knowledge of Norfolk history.
Some (but not all questions) will relate to one of our archives, with rounds such as
Which year in history?
and
Where in Norfolk?.
This is purely for fun and you don’t need to reveal how you do unless you want to!
The quiz should take 60-90 minutes.
No booking required, just click on the link on this page ( https://norfolkrecordofficeblog.org/events/) 5 minutes before we go live.

This workshop is designed to help you use online sources to begin discovering the History of your House from home.

Learn how to discover the fabric of your building using OS, tithe and enclosure maps, before moving on to uncover the previous inhabitants of your house using census returns, trade directories, manor court books and wills.
