Feltwell Parish Council Councillors         Chairmen     Vice-Chairmen

Parish Councils were constituted under the local Government Act of 1894.   Prior to this Parish, alias Vestry, Meetings dealt with local affairs. The last Vestry meeting was held 4/12/1894.

The first meeting of the Feltwell Parish Council was held at 7.00pm on 13th December 1894.  It was chaired by Mr John Lemon Payne.  The first Parish Clerk was Miss Anna Spencer of 2 Hill Street - originally Bank House - a position she held until 31st March 1936.  Many meetings were held at her house.

It should be noted that Francis Newcome played no part in the Vestry meetings but became Chairman at the formation of the Parish Council.
