Curated to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, this special exhibition will explore the war in Wymondham and in Britain more broadly, looking at the victory celebrations that filled the town, and considering the plethora of different ways in which local people contributed to the war effort.
The display will focus on 'Norfolk Stories', the wartime stories of people who lived in Norfolk and played a variety of important roles in the war effort, from military and local defence roles, to agricultural and transport positions.
These will be the stories of inspirational people, who, often from humble beginnings, went on to do extraordinary things.
The display will shed a special light on Far East Prisoners of War, in recognition of their often overlooked experiences during the war, and the Wymondham Far East Prisoners of War Church, the only one of its kind in the world.
