Henham Dramatic Society

Henham once had a thriving Dramatic Society. We are very grateful to Richard Thomas, once of Pennington View, Thaxted Road, for allowing us to copy and reproduce his copies of the following programmes. Richard has also given us photos of the Thaxted Road showing an undeveloped stretch between Pennington View and Pennington Hall (see Images 8)
