The Prisoners of Norman Cross

Paul Chamberlain

During the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (from 1797-1814), up to 7,000 prisoners of war of many nationalities were brought to Britain and held in the prison depot at Norman Cross (Peterborough). Paul will tell us the story of these men, how and where they were captured, why they were brought to Norman Cross, and how they lived, worked and died.

Join with other people from the village at

a Service of Thanksgiving

at St Mary’s Braughing

on Sunday 26th April

at 5.30pm

Organisations, societies, pubs, shops, businesses, the school, youth organisations, the community centre and of course the church – these and much more: we have so much to celebrate about the life of our village, so do come along. Organisations should by now have received invitations and a request for an A4 sheet of information – if you haven’t, please let the vicar know asap – we don’t want anyone to feel left out! The service should last about an hour and will be followed by drinks and nibbles with time to chat and peruse the display boards. (If you haven’t yet sent in your A4 sheet to the vicar, it’s not too late!)

 Don’t miss it!
