Visit our Pop Up Stall, to look at the pictures and other memorabilia, listen to the Fire Choir singing and enjoy some Tea and Cakes to raise some funds for the Ukraine appeal. Take your own snaps in our themed Picture Booth, and bring your family, to be a part of our Community Photo for this special occasion.'

This quiz is not a quiz in the usual sense, but rather just requires a bit of historical research
( if you don’t already know the answer) on each subject.
Then by pooling all the answers, with your considerable research expertise, we will all be much the wiser.
Do as many or as few as you like.  
QUIZ FILE: Open the pdf file here to see the questions, or download and print off to take with you on your research walk.

​
The deadline is mid February.  
Please email your answers to web@bartonshamhistory.org.uk
Answers will then be collated and results posted on the Bartonsham history Website.
The person who provides the most comprehensive answers gets the Bartonsham Cup,
​plus a highly valuable munitions mug!
