Founder member Robin Langhorne donated his fabulous copy of the major maps of the town and surrounding countryside by John Norden, a nationally renowned cartographer, in 1598. Robin spent hundreds of hours religiously copying by hand the 50 or so pages, has since laminated them at his own expense, and has now kindly donated them to our archive. They will be a great asset to local researchers and we have indexed all the property owners on the Norden map. We took this opportunity to publicly thank Robin by giving him 'Lifetime Membership' of the Society in recognition of the long service he has given local history and the Society.
