Terrington Local History Group
This is a group of residents of Terrington who are interested in exploring and recording the history and heritage of their local community through a range of projects. These projects have included house recording, field walking, oral history, developing a database of people who have lived in the parish and researching documentary sources.
The group meets once a month to share their findings, hear from relevant speakers and make visits. If you are interested in joining, have information or thoughts from similar research you are doing in your community, please e-mail terringtonhistory@gmail.com.
