Introduction: Foreword

Paul Macro I’d like to welcome to you this edition of the Attleborough Town Guide As a resident and business person, a large part of my life is spent in and around the town, and it’s a place I very much enjoy.

On behalf of Spider Solutions Web Development, we are very pleased to provide the town with the very popular Attleboroughonline.co.uk website, and Dispatch Magazine enjoys sharing all the news and information relating to the town each month.

This is the 4th edition of the Attleborough Town Guide which the Dispatch Magazine team have been responsible for producing, and I really do hope you find it to be a great source of information.

The High Street of Attleborough continues to change and it’s great when any new business looks to make the town it’s home. Keeping business in the community is a big part of what Dispatch Magazine continues to assist with and we believe we have a fantastic array of shops and businesses who are able to cater for most of the communities needs and requirements.

We have listed in this guide the many clubs and organisations in and around the town, and we urge everybody to make use of the great facilities this town has to offer.

Enjoy this edition of the Town Guide and enjoy Attleborough’s facilities.

introduction

History and Information The Town Sign and Pump The Town sign was donated by the Chamber of Commerce and Trade to the town in 1975. The sign was carved by Mr Harry Carter of Swaffham and was erected near the entrance of Queens Square.

The sign depicts the heritage of the town being agricultural and cider. At a ceremony at Queens Square on May 31st 1975 the sign was dedicated by Revd Canon I. F. Webb and unveiled by Mr P. C. N. Soloman as president of Trade and Commerce and a deed of gift of the sign was handed to Mrs R. E. D. Francis as Chairman of the Parish Council.

In 2003 an aluminium Sign cast by Ivan Soanes of Norwich replaced the original Town Sign in Queens Square, the old sign was then renovated and placed on the junction of London Road and West Carr Road in the summer of 2007.

The Town Pump and Acorn is a tree pump sited at Queens Square to celebrate the Diamond Anniversary of Queen Victoria in 1897. The Town Pump was revamped and dedicated by the Revd Michael Aisbett, attended by the Mayor Peter Neal and other town councillors to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 2002.

Attleborough Christmas Carnival Attleborough has over the years, built up a reputation for presenting one of the finest displays of Christmas lights in East Anglia. To mark this, a Christmas Carnival is held on the last Sunday of November each year, to coincide with the switch on of the lights. The format for this event includes: Craft and charity stalls in the Town Hall Church Hall and Sports Centre, a Street Fair in Queens Square, Carol Singing around the tree, Fun Fair rides in the Queens Square car park, a family church service in St Mary’s Church and of course the Father Christmas procession accompanied by his helpers who arrives in town with his sleigh and presents.

The businesses and stalls around the town enter the spirit by decorating their windows and stalls in the theme for the year and of course fancy dress is encouraged on the day. The enthusiasm and support of the local businesses have helped make this event a tremendous success attended by several thousand people, proving that the community spirit is alive and thriving.

Anybody wishing to help or for more information, contact Karen Pettitt on 01953 455755.

Attleborough Christmas Lights Attleborough is now well known to have the best Christmas Lights show for miles around. The organisers try to improve the selection every year. A lot of hard work goes on all year round to get the spectacular results. Talks start with Marrison Electrical contractors in early June, as there is much work to be done before the lights can be put in place. Hundreds of bulbs have to be replaced and miles of cable overhauled to the very high electricity board standards.

Money is always needed to help pay for this updating and replacing, so they rely on donations from local organisations and businesses. With more being raised from the general public and Town Council.

Anybody who wishes to donate to this worthwhile cause should ring Geoff Ellis on 01953 453163 or Averil Howell on 01953 452437.

Attleborough In Bloom

The Attleborough In Bloom project was started in 2005 with 20 baskets within the town centre, which was doubled to 40 baskets the following year. 2006 also saw the large floral display stand in Queens Square.

Following the structural survey of the lamposts at the beginning of 2007 it was decided that we cannot attach the baskets to the posts until they have been replaced with new ones.

Every Spring & Summer there is a mass of colour at Queens Square with 25 baskets around the outside whilst the inside is home to the large 3 tier display and a large selection of perennials around the trees. Baskets are also along the Church wall at St Mary’s with other ground tubs throughout the town and at each of the main entrances.

Year on year we improve & extend the Attleborough In Bloom project which has been, and continues to be funded by businesses, organisations, groups, and individuals. You may wish to make a donation to the project, or you may wish to sponsor a tub or floral display for a specific reason, the birth of a child, to celebrate a wedding or wedding anniversary, a milestone or achievement in life or in memory of a loved one.

If you wish to contribute to the project please contact the Town Clerk’s office on 01953 456194.

Attleborough Market Tel: 01953 452523 The Attleborough Market is held every Thursday from 8.00 – 14.00 on the Queens Square Car Park.

The majority of the children come from the town itself with some using school transport to travel from nearby villages.

The School currently has approximately 270 children on role in 9 classes.

The Headteacher Gill Howard took up her post in September 2006.

The last OFSTED report (April 2010) states: “Attleborough is a good and improving school. It has some outstanding features. The headteacher, very ably supported by senior leaders, provides inspirational leadership so that the school has continued to improve. Behaviour is exemplary throughout the school. Pupils absolutely love coming to school so that attendance has risen significantly. Relationships are outstanding. Pupils are extremely polite, get on well with each other and are very accepting of and thoughtful towards those who are less fortunate or different from themselves. This leads to very effective inclusion of pupils in all groups.

Pupils demonstrate excellent appreciation of how to keep safe and why they need a balanced diet and regular exercise. Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is outstanding because all aspects are given high priority through the school. Excellent spirituality, for example, can be seen in pupils’ pride in their school and the pleasure they derive from their own, and others’, achievements.”

The outstanding quality of care, guidance and support offered to pupils and their families is a real strength. These aspects both contribute strongly to the delightful atmosphere which pervades the school and ensures that all groups of pupils are highly valued and treated with respect as individuals.

An excellent partnership exists between the school and its parents and carers. They are delighted with what the school offers their children.

The school provides an environment in which creative thinking and behaviour flourishes because it is actively promoted and celebrated by everyone at the school.

We have taken ownership of the curriculum and are creative and innovative in how we teach and run the school.

High standards in the basic skills of Literacy and Numeracy go hand in hand with the provision of a broad, rich and stimulating curriculum which focuses on the individual needs of the children. We believe that the promotion of children’s creativity should be at the heart of the educational process.

Hargham Road Chapel

Hargham Road Chapel was started almost eighty years ago and was formerly known as “The Gospel Hall.” Two evangelists held a mission in the town, and as a result a small group of Christians met together in a small wooden hut. Later as numbers grew a corrugated iron building was erected. The present brick building was built in the 1970’s; this suffered an arson attack in 2003, but has now been completely refurbished.

We are an independent church, committed to spreading the good news of Jesus Christ. We are a friendly group of Christians, who meet regularly for worship, prayer and encouraging one another.

The main service is at 11am on Sundays, when we have times of worship, breaking of bread (communion) and Bible teaching. Monday evenings at 7.30pm we have our payer time and stimulating Bible study, finishing at 9.00pm.

Once a month we hold a short service at Wayland Court for the residents and friends. This starts at 3.00pm (usually the last Sunday in the month) and is followed by tea and cakes. All are welcome to come. On the last Tuesday of each month we have a coffee morning from 10 to 12am, again all are welcome.

St Mary’s Church St Mary’s Church (The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary) has stood at the heart of the market town of Attleborough since medieval times.

The church still plays an important role in the life of this thriving community and is growing as the town expands. St Mary’s has an active congregation of all the ages and a wide range of activities.

The Church Hall adjoining the church is used daily by many organisations including a day care centre for the elderly.

Visit the church to savour the peace and beauty of this ancient place of worship and enjoy its treasures, open all year round.

Sunday Services - 8.00pm, 10.00am and 6.30pm (evensong).

The church has Saxon foundations and is built in Norman and Early English styles. The present building is only part of the original construction. The large square Norman Tower, now at the east end was once at the centre of a much larger building which had a fine chancel and choir extending to the east, while the North and South transepts formed the shape of a cross. The whole of this eastern end belonged to the College of the Holy Cross, founded in the late fourteenth century by Sir Robert Mortimer, who enlarged the nave for the Parish.

The Tower originally had a spire and, although it is said that the old chancel was demolished after the closure of the Monasteries, it is believed by some that is was destroyed when the spire fell down some 300 years ago.

A medieval record suggests that the young St Edmund – King of the East Angles – spent a year at the college studying the Psalter with the priests in Attleborough before his coronation in Suffolk in AD 856.

Inside the church there are many interesting features, including the amazing Rood Screen for which St Mary’s is famous. It has been described as ‘one of the most precious possessions of our English Churches’. Dated around c1500 the 52 floor long oak screen is the only one in Norfolk to stretch across the nave and both side aisles. It has a richly carved rood loft along the front painted with the shields of the 24 English Bishoprics of the day. The screen was moved to the back of the church in the 1840s, where it remained until 1931, when it was restored to its rightful place.

Other interesting features include the stained glass windows, the stone font with its comical faces, a 16th century chest with three locks and a richly carved pulpit attributed to the workshop of Grindling Gibbons.

Near the aisle altar is a marble floorstone commemorating Captain John Gibbs who notoriously drove his carriage and four horses up and down the deepest part of the Devil’s Ditch on Newmarket Heath for a £500 wager in the time of Charles II. ATTLEBOROUGH Town Guide 2013-2014

Christ Community Church Christ Community Church is a vibrant and exciting Church made up of people living in Attleborough and the surrounding towns and villages. We are part of the Newfrontiers family of churches which is made up of hundreds of churches around the world who all share the same passion to make Jesus Christ known and to build excellent churches modeled on the principles found in the New Testament.

We enjoy meeting together for worship and teaching on Sundays at 10.30am at the Attleborough Junior School, Besthorpe Road, Attleborough.

We also hold midweek groups which provide an opportunity for people to make friends, grow in their faith and ‘do’ life together in a smaller setting than in our main Sunday meetings. They are informal, friendly and supportive, providing an ideal setting in which to meet new people. These meet in the evening of Thursdays and Wednesdays at 7.45pm and meet in peoples homes.

We regularly run Alpha courses. The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening manner over 10 thought-provoking weekly sessions. It’s low key, friendly and fun. And it’s supported by all the main Christian denominations. We run 2/3 courses every year and some courses meet at 7pm while others meet during the day.

The local branch raises money for the work of the Bible Society from gifts and from the proceeds of its mission-style collecting boxes (available on request).

It also publishes a “Thought for the Month” article based on a scripture verse which is printed in local church magazines as well as the Diss & Attleborough Dispatch.

Attleborough Breastfeeding Cafe Was set up in 2006, it was setup to give advice and support for local mothers but more importantly a place for like minded mum’s to come and socialise.

Breastfeeding locally compared to the national average is very high; however without help from places like Attleborough Breastfeeding Cafe the drop off in breastfeeding rates would be a lot greater.

It’s very important that those considering breastfeeding come along too, as with any new skill breastfeeding is an art that is not always easy to pick up, and investing time antenatally will pay off after baby is born.

Attleborough Breastfeeding Cafe are urging pregnant mum’s to pop in and see us, make the most of your free time to get all the information on breastfeeding. We are open every Friday from 9.30am - 11am at The First Floor of the Enterprise Centre, Church Street in Attleborough.

Attleborough Writers Group The Attleborough Writers’ Group is an offshoot of the Creative Writing class held for many years within the town of Attleborough, Norfolk, UK. Some members have been affiliated to the Creative Writing class for over ten years. The group meets fortnightly in Attleborough to write, discuss and critique their own work.

The main aims of the group are: • To support each member in their endeavour to be creative and to give each member confidence in their own abilities and aspirations.

• To encourage other local people to become interested in creative writing and to start their own writing groups.

• To raise the profile of creative writing as a viable interest for all sections of the community requiring no credentials or experience.

In December 2009 the writers published their first book entitled ‘Dark Horses’, an anthology of short stories and poems. The event was successfully launched by the Mayor of Attleborough, Mrs. Vera Dale, and received much local support. The group was delighted to be awarded a grant from Breckland Council towards their second anthology, ‘Light and Dark’, which was launched at Christmas 2010.

In the summer of 2010 the writers were invited to take part in the Breckland Arts Festival and have subsequently attended many local craft fairs offering helpful advice to anyone wishing to take up creative writing.

In November 2012 the Attleborough Writers’ Group launched its fourth anthology of short stories and poems entitled ‘Fourth Write’.

The Attleborough Writers’ Group, now an acknowledged part of the town’s society, would like to invite prospective guest speakers to come along and share their experiences.
