If you've read, "Our Island Story," by H.E. Marshall, or any other history of Great Britain, you may have come across a story about the warrior queen, Boudica, who rallied her people to fight the Romans, and in the end, when she was defeated, chose death over slavery. Well, Boudica came from ancient Thetford, and died about 62 a.d. Thetford is the town where we live. The American Revolutionary who wrote "Common Sense" and "Rights of Man", Thomas Paine was also born here. There are many wonderful little histories about this ancient capital city of East Anglia, and when we received a "Flat Stanley" in the mail, we decided to make a little amateur documentary about our new hometown.
