This is the home of Norma Explores. Here you will find all you need to know about my project. If this is your first visit, please take a look at the ABOUT page to get familiar with our origins.
You can read my latest blog post below and see where I've been on my latest adventures around the UK.
I am adding to the Gazetteer with every new trip, so if you see a village with a clickable link, please take a look and see what I found there! I am constantly updating the pages and will be letting my followers on social media know whenever there are significant updates, so please follow me to join the journey!
If you enjoy my content, please consider joining me on Patreon for exclusive member content and free downloads of the new Norma Explores magazine as it's released. Alternatively, you could show support by buying me a coffee on Kofi! All donations help keep me travelling, writing, and covering subscription costs to research organizations such as Ancestry, British Newspaper Archives, and Forces War Records which I require to bring these stories to life!
All support is very gratefully received!
This section is currently under construction! Please bear with me while I populate these pages with all the villages in each county. As I visit each place on my journey, the link will go live and you'll be able to see where I went and what I've learned on my travels! I am also building an interactive map for our tier members on Patreon, so if you prefer to view the sites on a zoomable map, please join me as a subscriber! As you will undoubtedly understand, this is a HUGE project and won't be completed over night! I really appreciate your patience and hope you enjoy being on this journey with me!
