Begun in 1984, Little Woodham is a fascinating re-creation of how an English village could have looked in 1642. The village, beautifully situated in an ancient oakwood, consists of more than a dozen structures ranging from a fisherman's shelter to an Ale House, Blacksmith's forge and an Apothecaries shop. On open days it is staffed by volunteers in period costume who can be seen tending the herbs and vegetables in the cottage gardens and practising a wide variety of period crafts. Around 1500 school children visit the site each year.

History (when people started writing things down) with the Romans, Saxons & Vikings and so on...

"Josephine Baker was a cabaret star who kept a pet cheetah and aided both the French Resistance in WWII and the American civil rights movement of the 1950s and ’60s. In the 1930s, fancy European society was simultaneously creepily fascinated by and hostile towards women of colour – but Baker was always unapologetically herself. Still a major style icon, her shows had cabaret and topless dance numbers alongside slapstick comedy and silly faces and so totally challenged the notion that female sexuality could be defined or controlled, and most importantly showed that above all else it should be FUN for women."Oh, and there's an amazing anecdote about her: Her maid comes into her boudoir and says, 'Miss Baker, there are 12 men here to see you.' Josephine responds, 'Oh, I'm so tired today. Send one away.'"Submitted by Susan Clare and Vanessa Heine via FacebookNote: Submissions have been edited for length and/or clarity.
