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.

The formal creation of the archive group came about 10 years ago following the death of local solicitor Bernard Gledhill as his family had a large quantity of documents to dispose of.
Janet is also known for her work with Wymondham Heritage Society and has given historical talks across Norfolk.
