Carbrooke Plough
It’s great to see the Carbrooke Plough back on its plinth outside Carbrooke Village Hall 2024
It was originally cast at Carbrooke foundry many years ago, and renovated by prisoners at Wayland prison, before being placed on its plinth in 2012.
After 10 years open to the elements, it was beginning to deteriorate, and has now had its wood work replaced and a re-paint of the ironwork by a Carbrooke resident.
Many thanks to all concerned.

The Heritage Group host ‘Tea & Memories’
Thankyou to all who supported, and those who helped with catering, and setting up. The morning weather was not looking too promising, but later in the afternoon the sun came out. We had lots of visitors both long standing and newer residents. Photos and other memorabilia were on display to get us all chatting together about Carbrooke in days gone by.

Ongoing
Alternate Fridays in the Village Hall 2 – 4pm
5th August, 19th August,
We had a very successful afternoon, as we made a start on logging our memorabilia.
We managed to sort into different subject categories, although some of the items were difficult to decide which category it should belong in.
We all agreed it was great to actually get down to some Carbrooke heritage, and were surprised at quite how much we had collected over the years. I think we also got sidetracked by some of our findings!
- Church & Chapel
- School
- Agriculture
- Places & People
- Social Life
- RAF, War and Remembrance
- Books & Publications
Our next cataloguing date will be
Friday 8th July 2-4pm
Carbrooke Village Hall.
We will concentrate on one of the categories to itemise, protect and preserve the memorabilia, before moving on to the .
Tea & biscuits to keep us going.
All welcome to help.
