Sam Jay
Operations Manager
Sam is the Operations Manager for King’s Lynn Town Hall and Stories of Lynn, and has been in post since 2014, but has been part of the Borough Council since 2001.
Sam is responsible for the day to day operations of both facilities, and still gets goose bumps every time she walks into our beautiful building!
Luke Shackell
King’s Lynn Borough Archivist
Luke manages the King’s Lynn Borough Archives in Stories of Lynn as a Trainee Archivist. Luke began working as an Archive Assistant for the Norfolk Record Office in August 2016, after eighteen months volunteering in Archiving, and began his role at Stories of Lynn in December 2016.
You may find him helping a researcher find relevant documents in the catalogue, looking through Quarter Session entries with a volunteer for interesting crimes, or staring quizzically at a text book!
Otherwise he might be planning how to win, the next time he is at a ‘Beer and Board games’ evening with his friends!
