The Eastern Daily Press (Norwich) published, in its magazine on 29th January, 2000, a cover page and 4-page article on
Tottington: The Village That Vanished
(one of the villages in the Breckland displaced to make way for the Battle Area in 1942)

The article is essentially a review of a new book on the history of the village:
Tottington: A Lost Village in Norfolk, Hilda and Edmund Perry,
Wymondham: George R. Reeve Ltd., 9 - 11 Town Green, Wymondham, Norfolk NR 18 0TT,
ISBN 0 900616 56 3, £12.95.
- which looks like a companion volume to Miss Reeve, referred to on my web-site.

Three interesting pictures are:

1. The party of former residents visiting the church in 1993

2. Tottington in the 1930s

3. Tottington Now - with houses built, for military purposes, to simulate a village in Eastern Europe
