Signpost - Ellingham and Kirby Cane
A chronology of Ellingham & Kirby Cane
The history of the villages can be traced back two millennia, as was documented so well in Jo Gooderham's A chronology of Ellingham & Kirby Cane (ISBN 978-1-5272-7471-6). The first edition was a sell out and is serialised on this site. Now updated, it is available for purchase from our local shop or the parish council (please contact the clerk).
