At the entrance porch were arrangements depicting the White Bull Public House, which closed some decades ago.

Inside on the font was a reminder of the sad day that our railway viaduct was demolished.

There was also a display commemorating the building and demise of the railway and our station.

Across from this we reminded people that Neatsgate Farm, now a dwelling house, used to be a dairy farm of some 100 acres.

In the tower was a display about how villagers pumped their water from local wells until mains water arrived in the village as recent as the mid 1960’s.

Another window commemorated the time when there was also a Wesleyan Chapel very active in Church Lane.

Hiding the organ was a display of photos of times long gone, together with old newspapers and some more recent photographs by villagers showing what they feel is special to them about East Norton.

Around the lectern we could read and view pictures of the one time blacksmith, George Bedford. His anvil was there for all to see. Not an easy thing to carry into the church and back!

Across from the lectern, in and around the pulpit, we saw a display of Rural Life the way it used to be.

Before the A47 was re-aligned, East Norton was in the Fernie Hunt country but is now in Cottesmore territory. A display in the window near to the pulpit celebrated our hunting tradition.

The one remaining window showed how the Post Office had existed in three different houses over the last 100 years.

Finally, the sanctuary display was about the important role of the church from cradle to grave. Weddings, Baptisms and Funerals have been an important part of our history.
