Welcome to the Ludham Community Archive

The Village of Ludham lies at the heart of the Norfolk Broads. It's not a big place, but it can trace its history back over a thousand years. A lot can happen in that time even in a small place.
This website is packed full of information about life in a Broadland village past and present. It was written by the people who care about Ludham the most - those who live there. This is their story and that of their ancestors.
The Ludham Archive contains far more than we can possibly put into a website and our shop page tells you how to get more information and pictures. We have books, leaflets, DVDs and an interactive CD available. We are a not for profit organisation, but we do have to make a charge to cover the production costs.

You can join in with the fun at the Ludham Archive Group. Anyone can attend our meetings. We don't have members or a membership fee. We just have people who are interested in Ludham. Click on the" Ludham Archive" button for more information.

Archive Group News:

The survey of Ludham Graves has now been completed. This project took the Archive Group most of 2008 to complete and is a major update on the previous survey undertaken in 1980. There is a copy in St Catherine's Church and an index in our family tree section. We cannot put the whole thing on the website as it is so large, but you are welcome to e-mail us if you want details.

Open Days 2009 Thank you to everyone who took part in the open day or who came along to look at the displays. We are also grateful for all the new material you found for the archive. There will be another open day in 2010 on the 10th of July.

 Two new booklets one called Ludham Humour and the other about events in Ludham during the 20th century are now available. Go to our shop.

New meeting place. From January 2010, the Ludham Archive meetings will return to the Sloper Room

Our latest Textile Project is now under construction. The last one can be seen on display in St Catherine's Church.

Just what is the Ludham Archive about and how did it start?

The Ludham Community Archive Group was formed early in 2002 as a Jubilee Year community project. Initially, the Group was set up to create a large scale textile map of the parish. Later the Group purchased computer equipment and began work on the archive to create a lasting record of the Broadland Village of Ludham.
The Group has now completed the map and has expanded into the creation of  CDs, Videos, Books and Booklets about Ludham. We have completed a further  textile project and yet another one is planned. Monthly winter walks are also organised along with slide shows, exhibitions and fun events. 

We meet once every two weeks to discuss archive material and the history of Ludham. Guest speakers often enlighten us further.

Gathering new archive material about the village is an important part of our work. Everything is scanned and kept on computer. All original items are returned to their owners. We now have over 8 Gbytes of data and the archive is still growing fast.

Of course, there is no point in gathering material unless it can be made available for others to see. This is why we produce books, booklets, CDs and DVDs. We also organise slide shows and exhibitions so that as many people as possible can benefit from the archive collection.
