Welcome to Fragments and Light, a brand new website built by Chris & Chandra Ward to showcase some of our photos, paintings and family history stories.

About Us

Having lived in our village in West Norfolk for nearly 18 years, we cherish the peaceful countryside and its close proximity to the beautiful north Norfolk coast. The historic trading town of Kings Lynn is just a short drive away and East Anglia’s renowned cities of Norwich, Ely, and Cambridge are within easy access.

We are both retired and have the opportunity to explore many interests. Creating this website offers us a unique blend of technical and creative challenges, and we hope you enjoy the content we share here.

Planned Content

Fragments and Light will feature a diverse range of content, including our photography and artwork, compelling stories about family history, and other inspiring topics that captivate our interests.

Chris showcases a selection from his extensive photography portfolio. With a passion for photography spanning many years, he has experience with a variety of cameras, both film and digital. Learn about Chris’s photography here.

Since retiring, Chandra has honed her artistic skills and presents a curated selection of her recent works, featuring a variety of subjects and media. Learn about Chandra’s paintings here.

The blog section of our website will feature a variety of topics. It includes fascinating stories Chris has discovered while exploring the distant branches of his family tree. We intend to delve into historical insights about the region where we live. Additionally, the blog will highlight intriguing technical details related to the development of this website or share other content worth sharing. Explore our blog posts here.

The various sections of the website can be accessed through the drop-down menu at the top of each page. Please feel free to explore the content. If you have any questions, kindly leave a comment—we would love to hear from you.

Fragments and Light Design

The website is built on WordPress. It uses the Astra theme and the Firelight Lightbox to display our many image galleries. Chris, our webmaster, is actively learning web design. As he explores WordPress features, customizes themes, and tests plugins, the site will keep evolving and improving. We appreciate your patience during this ongoing development.
