BackNorfolk Record Office
We have established a partnership with the Norfolk Record Office and we are working closely to develop our relationship.
The Record Office provides a safe home for historical documents, in the case of Filby going back to the 14th century, which we can access to help tell the ongoing story of the village. Our activities in the village will add to the archive by, hopefully, discovering previously unrecorded material.
