Jean Simms is wonderful. Came to stay with Donna over Thanksgiving - what a delight. Brings us English goodies. If all from Gooderstone are as the few I know - Must be a wonderful place to live.

I have been researching my fathers family tree for the past 5 years, his surname was Goodson, I have read on a few internet sights that this could be a variant of Gooderstone, I have traced his family back to about 1700 when they were in Wisbech St Peter, then moved to Terrington St Clements and then into Kings Lynn and then to Sutton Bridge. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Are there any records I could look at? Any responsse would be welcome.

In reply to the question about the cottages at the chalk pit, Gooderstone has two chalk pits. I suspect the one that is being discussed is the chalk pit owned by the parish council. There are two surviving cottages near it - obviously there are none in it. There is some evidence that there have prviously been two others in the area around the chalk pit.

I am researching my family history, and found your site. My great grandfather, James Frederick Manning, was born in Gooderstone in about 1862. In the 1871 and 1881 census he is recorded as living with his family at "Cottages in Chalk Pit, Gooderstone" I wondered whether these cottages still exist, and whether anyone in the village could help with knowledge of the Mannings in Gooderstone? There were a lot of them! Like your website. Every village should have one, both for current communications and to record the history of village life.

Can you mention the fantastic fish and chip van that parks up on The Street and Elm place every friday around 5pm and the fresh fish van that stops by the school on Weds from 1pm - 1.30. What a great service. I had no knowledge of this site until now. Maybe a little flyer in post boxes to market the website may help. You have provided a great resource. I love it.

Nicely set out web site, unfortunately not a lot on it yet, let's hope residents will come around to the idea of using it to inform others what is happening.

Having recently moved into the village, and having two young children, I am trying to find any activities open to them in the actual village other than travelling back into Swaffham. Is there anyone who does Horseriding lessons? Are there any clubs after school or during the holidays at the school or church? There is nothing I can find on the internet, and I am not sure if this is because there is not anything or it is just not advertised. kind Regards Lesley
