Support for Abbey barns grows

Richard Howitt, MEP for the East of England, met Thetford Society campaigners on Friday and hopes to use his Labour Party influence and European contacts to help.

"Europe is about protecting local heritage and I am here to give my total support to efforts to save our local heritage."
