Welcome to the site run by the sub-committee of the Thetford Society (charity number 802218) responsible for the Bicentennial Celebrations for Tom Paine in his home town throughout 2009.

Following the Celebrations, the committee has been reconstituted with a Legacy brief, to maintain the profile of Thetford's radical thinker in the town.
