What was the Capturing Our Wayland Heritage Project

* It was three year community project, centered on Watton and the surrounding parishes, which aimed to explore, record and celebrate Wayland’s unique cultural and landscape heritage.

* The project worked with local schools and history groups, providing support, activities and training. It will also helped set up new interest groups where they do not already exist.

* Topics explored include: landscape history, archaeology, myths, buildings, oral & family history, trades, crafts, fairs, sport, traditions, farming, ‘Battle Area’, airfields, transport, religion, food and fashion.

* The ‘Capturing our Wayland Heritage’ project helped the local community to create a Wayland archive in the form of 13 books and data DVDs that will be a legacy for generations to come.

* The results of the project will be shared with the community and visitors to the area.

* Revealing Wayland’s hidden heritage will help the local economy by encouraging more tourism in the area.
