Yesterday we had the most wonderful talk with 91 year old alumna, Mary Edwards! She was so enthusiastic and retold the accounts of her childhood in such detail. It was truly inspiring and all of us present were undoubtedly moved by her childhood memories-

At 11.30pm @StPeterMancroft we give thanks for the long life of our dear friend Barbara Miller MBE, at her funeral here in church, in the heart of the City of Norwich, in which she loved so much and served as Church Warden.
Rest in peace dear friend.

Not exactly an NHS archive post, but our most recent Archaeology Society find. We dug this up in the gardens behind Lanchester House. A fancy Victorian coat hook? Any other ideas?
