"MULBARTON has NO history...."
These were the words of the former Rector, the Revd. 'Sandy' Sanderson, when he unveiled the Village Sign in July 1979. In one sense he was right: Mulbarton has had NO battles, NO revolutions, and NO national headlines.
And yet..... Mulbarton is FULL of history: the ordinary, everyday history of ordinary people. Every bend in every road tells a story. So does every hedge and every road-name. The villagers who helped record this village history are the inheritors of two thousand years of history - and we will be the makers of the future history of our village.
This section is a good starting-point, where you will find some general information about Mulbarton and the area around. In the 'Village and Around' section in IMAGE GALLERIES you will find maps, air photos and other items of general interest. Then you can go to nearly a dozen sections on specific topics.
And don't forget that there is yet more in 'The Book of Mulbarton' - sub-titled "A Village That Has No History"? This large-format hardback about our village was published by Halsgrove in Nov. 2006. Unfortunately all 750 copies were quickly snapped up and it went out of print in summer 2007. DO ASK HALSGROVE TO REPRINT IT - or borrow a copy in the UK through the library service.
