Walking into History
Paston Footprints audio walking tours
7 audio walking tours were designed to bring to life the stories of the Pastons in Norwich, Bacton, Paston Village, Blofield, Mannington, Oxnead, and Gresham. Each walk concentrates on difference aspects of the Paston stories found in the 14th to 17th century Paston letters and other archival sources which happened on the walking routes. The letters reveal the challenges and strife associated with a family who transitioned from yeoman to the aristocracy from the end of the Black Death in the 14th century to the ascendency of many families loyal to the Crown after the Civil War in the 17th century.
