Local History Books and Talks by Pip Wright I am a retired Primary School Teacher, living in Stowmarket in Suffolk.
I now write local history books and give talks to groups of all kinds
and all ages across East Anglia. Together with my late wife Joy, who died
in July 2005, I have spent a number of years gathering information on
Suffolk social history. My particular passion is the newspapers of the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Joy and I produced a number of books
drawing from old local papers, and I still have hundreds more good stories
I intend to publish. Published in September 2010, ‘The Watery Places of Suffolk’ explores those hidden damp corners of the county that you might not know about. A large collection of historical gleanings will be completed this winter and will probably be published in 2011 under the title ‘Frolic, fervour and fornication.’ ![]() |
