Forncett Village Info

This is certainly the most unusual book I have read during my time with the Forncett Reading Group. Set in Germany just before the Second World War, the book documents the early life of a nine year old girl, Liesel Meminger, who started her life with a real mother and a younger brother. Very soon the brother dies and she finds herself being handed over (for obscure reasons) to foster parents.

What we do. The parish has always been devoted to agriculture. Nowadays we have dairy herds and arable farms growing beet, barley, oilseed rape and wheat. They determine the landscape, which is part of the South Norfolk Claylands. The parish falls into two distinct areas: firstly, the Tas Valley with its water meadows, some of ecological significance with protected habitats for wildlife and the Conservation Area of Low Road from church to church, and secondly, the upper ‘plateau’ area with its arable fields.
