Information - Talk: The Story of Margaret Catchpole

The tale of Margaret Catchpole has been shrouded in mystery ever since its writing. The famous horse stealer who escaped Ipswich jail, went on the run, and was eventually transported to Australia. Anthony Cobbold, the author’s two times great nephew, and founder of The Cobbold Family History Trust will describe his efforts to disentangle fact from fiction but he is the first to admit he does not know all the answers. It remains a dramatic and intriguing fiction.

Ticket includes a tea or coffee on arrival.

Pride in Place

You Don’t Need To Be An Expert To Get Involved In Pride in Place

One of the biggest misconceptions about community projects is that they're only for people with impressive CVs, professional backgrounds or years of experience sitting on committees. The Pride in Place programme - a government investment for Whitehouse and Stoke Park/Chantry of £20m into each area over 10 years - is trying to change that.
