The latest upload to the site focuses on Horsted Keynes. It includes new work by Jill Rolfe on Horsted Keynes' preparations for invasion which is a fascinating read and  a detailed account of what may have been the grandest fete ever staged in the village,which includes many contemporary photos never published before. Finally there is a reprint of a well researched document on the iron Industry by Bryan Hale which was first published in 2001 and deserves to be read again in 2021.
