Getting Purple Plaques fabricated is the easiest bit - the tricky bit is getting permission to put them up! Having said that, getting permission for the initial three was like falling off a log (Murrell, Lovibond and Nicholson) - and we were all set for the fourth, until the Head Teacher at Hadleigh Juniors retired.

Administration which unexpectedly absorbed more volunteer time in 2025 was mostly the start of Lloyds Bank charging for the use of a Community Bank Account.  Time was needed across several months to create and use an equivalent (but free so far) NatWest account and authorise the transfer from one to the other.

Two plaques were installed in 2025 to honour famous residents of Hadleigh House.     

That mansion was later renamed Victoria House which then lent its name to Victoria House Corner, a large roundabout and local landmark.

The stately mansion has since been demolished. 

The plaques were installed with the agreement of people controlling the sites.
