Blaxhall's Living Past
Location: Suffolk

The project aims to research the social history of Blaxhall from 1700 to 2000 using all archival sources available. The group intends to trace the major families and individuals that have lived and worked in the village and record their lives. They also intend to study the evolution of all the farms and how they have changed over the 300 year period, and how the landscape has been influenced by these changes.
