Local History

Status:Active, open to new members
When: On Wednesday afternoons
3rd Wednesday of the month

This group aims to study many different aspects of our local heritage. We have a varied programme of visits to local places of historical interest, museums, country houses, churches etc. as well as doing research with the help of old documents and local knowledge.  We also attempt to arrange outings to places not normally open to the general public.

We have taken part in the Thames Valley Network's Riverside Project and the Historic Pathways Project which involved researching the old drovers' routes through our area.

We have also studied some of the local archives in the Parish Office with a view to finishing the work of the now disbanded Watlington History Group.

Please contact Sue Carlyle if you are interested in joining.
