Our June meeting was treated to a wonderfully entertaining evening by Pip Wright, a retired school teacher and author of a string of local history books. Enticingly labelled as a ‘tale of poaching, murder, heavy drinking and intrigue’, Pip recounted the true story of the WHISTLECRAFTs, a notorious family from Rickinghall and Hinderclay (near Diss), who have now attained ‘folk hero’ status in the local community.
