Bill Nourish (now in his nineties) has been writing down his memories of his boyhood and youth in Langham for a number of years and all of them are included in Langham Village History Group’s archive. On several occasions, Bill has told us that he has “run dry” but fortunately, this has not been the case.
Thanks are due to Freda Smithson, Bill’s typist, and to Brenda Witcomb for her illustrations

The stories of families who, over the centuries, have emigrated from Langham in Rutland. Written by Ann Grimmer [Palmer], - To read a page please go to http://www.langhaminrutland.org.uk/books/TLL28.pdf

This booklet is an account of three women living at different social levels in Langham during the 17th century. Women leave fewer records behind than the men, looking at their lives often means looking at the wills and inventories of their husbands.
Grace Fracey is an exception to this. Whilst research about 17th century society in general, and these women in particular, underpins the accounts of their lives, fiction fills in the details. This provides a comparison of these women at various stages in their lives, the similarities and differences.
