Portraits of people who were living in 1911

All the people pictured here appear on the 1911 census for Wickhamford. This is an attempt to offer a pictorial record of everyone who was living in the village at that time. The photographs were taken on various dates, generally later than 1911. People are listed in alphabetical order. If you click on a picture, this will often take you to an uncropped version of the same picture. We are grateful to everyone who has lent us photographs to include here.

If you can provide pictures of missing people, do please contact us by emailing wickhamford@badsey.net
