The new Local History group has been established and has attracted much interest. Everyone is welcome.
The aims of the group include:
- researching the village and local community;
- researching particular local buildings;
- collecting village memories and sources;
- writing for the website or for publication (see our recent articles);
- inviting guest speakers
The next meeting will be on Tuesday 13th March, 7.30 in The Reading Room, Avon Dassett.
The meeting will discuss plans for the group's publication of a new history of Avon Dassett to commemorate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. A visit to the local Record Office is being organised.
Current research includes the 1911 census, local newspapers, local charities, taxation and the collection of village images and photographs.
For further information please watch this space or contact Sarah Richardson or Jill Burgess
