One of Wymondham's longest serving stalwarts has been honoured for her work with the town's archive.
To mark her retirement as the Town Archivist, Janet Smith has been given the 2010 Civic Award.
Wymondham Mayor Colin Foulger presented her with the award at the annual general meeting of the Wymondham Archive Group.

Janet is also known for her work with Wymondham Heritage Society and has given historical talks across Norfolk.
