The Saffron Walden Historical Journal carries a number of shorter items as
‘History News’ regarding history-related events in the locality, usually at the
end of the journal, but sometimes on other pages. Some of these later expand
into longer articles. Download some collections of these items here. They reflect the
wide range of history activities in and around Saffron Walden. Some of the
original wording has been lightly edited to update it. Only a few of the original
illustrations are included, where possible in colour. The date of the issue
containing the item is given in brackets.
