HOW THIS SITE CAME ABOUT
There was a book . . .
The Book was inspired by a type-written manuscript by a naval Commander Frank Noel STAGG in the 1930s - a history of Salthouse from Doomsday up to 1840 - lost for many years and rediscovered in 2000.
It was edited and published together with all sorts of contributions from Salthouse people past and present, and it was a wonderful mixture of personal and archive material.
The Book, together with an Exhibition in Salthouse church in the summer of 2003, was a big project financed by a Grant from:
The Local Heritage Initiative - a partnership between The Heritage Lottery Fund, The Nationwide Building Society and the Countryside Agency - visit their site www.lhi.org.uk

Jane Waters, Henry Cordeaux, Sue Andrews (copy-editor and index-maker) at the Book Launch 18 July 2003 in the Dun Cow, Salthouse.
Instead of a second edition, the editor decided to make some of the material from the book - and much of the material that never made it into the book- (especially photographs) available on the World Wide Web . . .
