Welcome to Terrington Archive

Terrington Archive was conceived and designed during the COVID lockdown by Keith Adkins who together with his wife Jane Hanstock has lived in Terrington since 1987. Keith and Jane continue to develop and research it. The website contains a collection of material which helps to tell the story of the village up to the present time, including information on Terrington's notable events, people, buildings and places. It is hoped that residents and visitors alike will find something of interest here.

Sources and other contributors are acknowledged on the pages concerned. If you have any material which helps to tell the story of the parish and would like to contribute it please e-mail contact@terringtonarchive.net.

The copyright on all material belongs to Terrington Archive except where another copyright holder is specified. For permission to copy and re-use material please e-mail contact@terringtonarchive.net.

We're sorry that we do not have the resources to respond to genealogical enquiries; websites such as ancestry, findmypast, familysearch and genuki are intended to help you trace your ancestors.
