Hosted by Elveden at their Village Hall.

Site of
the Week
We have
added a new feature to the home page at www.22villages.org
Thanks to the help of our friends at www.24hourmuseum.org we
will regularly be bringing to your attention heritage sites worth a look at! The
first is the British Golf Museum's web site which leads the visitor on a tour
through the history of the sport starting with the first documentary reference
to golf in Scotland, when James II banned golf in favour of archery in the year
1457. This feature of the 22villages home page will change frequently - so visit
often
Much
work at Moulton
Moulton have added some excellent sections to their website, to find out
more about the Enclosures Act in 1839, the many events recorded in the Manor
Rolls dating back to 1281 and the unscheduled stop by an airship in 1912 and
much else besides go to www.22villages.org
and click on Moulton on the signpost. Also they have enlightened us about some
interesting old words, but even they were stuck on the meaning of Capellanus
and Pigthle. After much head scratching an email was sent to the
22village resource, run by Cavenham OED@22villages.org
which responded with the following answer!
capellanus.
Cf. It. cappellano, F. capelan, chapelain chaplain.]
a. A keeper of the sacred relics.
b. One who officiates in a chapel; a chaplain.
Pigthle A
small field or enclosure; a close or croft

Notice
our Noticeboard
We have revamped the homepage at www.22villages.org,
which now has a real noticeboard! If you have something to tell the whole
22villages community about send an email to noticeboard@22villages.org
and we will put it up (drawing pins permitting!) Currently there is a reminder
about next Wednesday's Open meeting, a focus on Cavenham's new site and a poster
that will take you straight to the 22villages newsgroup.
