Alfred Absolon Author

Alfred Absolon was a farmer and ploughman in rural Norfolk at the turn of the century. He was also an artist, producing many sketches and watercolours throughout his life. He was born in 1893 and he set down his memories shortly before his death in 1979. Through him we have an extraordinary means of connecting to life in the farming community of Colkirk in the late Victorian and Edwardian period and through WWI and WWII. His memoir has been transcribed and published now for the first time by his descendants.
