Talk:History of Norfolk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2. Have used the London article category headings as they appear to make sense. Put some ideas in but still need help. Rob 14:03, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

1. I need help with this. I am trying to find chronological historical information to go here but am stuggling to find a balance as I have a strong knowledge of aviation history but am significanly more patchy elsewhere. I am a native of the county and live only *just* outside and am hence able to visit and do some research and photography. I think that at the moment the best thing to do is to divide into structured periods covering more volume than the centenaries that are there at the moment - i.e. Prehistory, Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman, Romano British, Saxon, Norman, etc, though open to suggestions. History_of_London would be a good template I venture. Rob 22:34, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Neolithic long barrow burial not far away at Felthorpe

rectangular and oval enclosures Norfolk at Marlingford, Langley, and Kettlestone. The latter appears to have two opposed entrances. One partitularly interesting example at Roughton, Norfolk occurs adjacent to a small causewayed enclosure.

[edit] New content

Hi there, I've added a few notes to the page and will hopefully get the chance to expand on them over the coming months. I was thinking it might be a good idea to have a "Famous People" section for each time period that briefly lists noted historial characters born in that period and links through to their relevant articles? Any objections to this ? Thanks Andy

[edit] prehistory split?

as the prehistoric side of this artical is the most? complete and depends solely on archaeological evidence how about a split with a new artical called prehistoric norfolk??? how would one go about this???

[edit] Help

I'm not sure who's 'looking' after this article as most mods have been done by anonymous IP. I like the look of what has already been started here and am willing to help out with the layout and some input up to saxon timeline. Also please sign comments please.

[edit] Burston Strike School

Sorry, I haven't been to Norfolk for 40 years apart froma quick visit by plane to an airfield. As a teacher, I am interested in the Burston Strike School, scene of the longest running strike in British history, and commemorated every year by trades unins with a meeting and picnic in the village where the school still exists as a museum. But there was no article in Wikipedia about it, so I wrote one. Seeing as people with an interest in Norfolk, and hopefully living there, will visit this article, may I appeal to any of you who can to see if you add more to my page and maybe set up a page on the village of Burnston itself. I am going to have a go, but won't be able to get far without local knowledge. Also, as a major part of Norfolk history in the 20C perhaps some mention and link could be made from here.
