In a county of small villages, Bittering in the heart of Norfolk is one of the smallest. It was here in 1942 that Joan Warmer was born and lived until she moved to Hingham in 1967 and married George Norton. The details of her life sixty to seventy years ago feel unimaginable to us today, just as the Bittering itself of her childhood is hard to imagine now, since a number of its buildings have subsequently disappeared. BITTERING, NORFOLK, LOST AND FOUND is the product of long conversations with Joan to recover her vivid memory of life in remote Norfolk at that time, her family, living off the land, and her service at Bittering Hall from the age of ten. This was a fading world even in her time there which has now vanished altogether. Joan's account is marked by her vigorous conversational style, a sharp eye for what she saw, and immense warmth both for her family and for the Napiers living in the Hall. 68 pages, with 25 photographs and 2 maps A SFORZINDA BOOKS PUBLICATION
