A Retrospect - Taken from Shorts AlmanacRetrospect for 1905 On June 22nd a Bazaar and Garden Party was held in the picturesque grounds of Olland House (now Dunelm) - by kind permission of Mr Walker - for the purpose of augmenting the rebenching fund for St Mary's Church. The very Reverend the Dean of Norwich opened the proceedings. The weather was all that could be desired and the attendance resulted in about £80 being added to the fund, this with upwards of £500 previously subscribed enabled the vicar and wardens to have the Nave benched. This work has been carried out in Old English oak by Mr Arthur Denny Botwright of this town Retrospect for 1907

The
old and familiar name of Haward and Son has developed into Haward and
Dawson - H Branford continues his business in Bridge Street while his
old shop is new fronted and still claims that 'there is nothing like
leather' The Iron Foundry in Broad Street which has been closed for
many years is now completely abolished. The 'Kings Head' Hotel has been
partially refronted and a private entrance added; whilst the ancient
and historical 'Three Tuns' Hotel has changed hands - for more than
a generation it had been occupied by three members of the Norman family
and has been the centre of many public and private functions. It is
now owned and occupied by Mr John James Doe who is completely overhauling
and modernising the premises
