Many of you will have learnt of the sad loss of Deborah Giles. Deborah was a founding member of
the Group. Over a period of 25 years Deborah had researched extensively the history and records
of Norton. Her encyclopeadic knowledge and expertise has been invaluable in setting our aims and
giving us leads as to further areas of research.
A number of us attended Deborah's funeral on Friday October 31st which was extremely well
attended and a very personal and moving occasion. We will all miss Deborah and her enthusiastic
involvement and have sent condolences on behalf of the Group to Anthony and Deborah's sons.
The family have invited donations Deborah's memory for the Garden House Hospice, Gillison Close,
Letchworth, Herts SG6 1Q or MacMillan Cancer Support, 12 Prospect Place, Welwyn, Herts AL6
9EN. Members of the committee will be making personal donations to the local Garden House
Hospice.
Our thoughts are with Deborah's family at this time though we hope to consider further how we
may recognise Deborah's work, perhaps in conjunction with the Letchworth Museum.

Welcome to our website!
Here you will find the latest news concerning our on-going Community Project. We are
a thriving, active group with over 80 members and much local interest.
Our latest 4 week dig in August '08 Dig was in Church Field, Norton. This was
recorded as a day-by-day account in our Blog (see the menu bar)
Following that, this October (08) we completed another fieldwalk which was adjacent
to our summer dig. For picture click here.
We continued our research by digging testpits on 31st October/ 1st November.
If you are interested in becoming involved in our activities then please contact our
secretary Ken Bird (kenbird@ntlworld.com)
Norton has extraordinarily well preserved historical records covering 1000 years of
our social history. We also have unspoilt archaeology spanning 5000 years. The
Norton Community Archaeology Group (NCAG) was set up 2 years ago to further our
knowledge of the village and surrounding area through practical “hands-on” historical
research and archaeological excavations. Our projects will illuminate hitherto unknown
aspects of the village's past and bring it to life for the inhabitants of the area.
