"Abbotsley" An Illustrated Village Project
Location: Cambridgeshire
The group will carry out research into the history and cultural heritage of Abbotsley, then raise local people’s awareness and understanding of it through an exhibition.
Material used will include an existing private collection of photographs, which will be copied and made available digitally. Medieval documents on Abbotsley held at Balliol College, Oxford, will be translated and used in the exhibition.
Reminiscences will be gathered from older residents, and photographs of current village scenes and events will be included.
The project will also produce CD-Roms, a video and travelling displays.
