| Are you interested
in helping to preserve the history of your village? |
| Are you interested
in tracing your ancestors? |
|
Come to a meeting at 8 p.m. on
Thursday November
9th, in the Rectory Hall
to discuss the formation of a heritage group.
|
| There will be some items on display about
the village history - books, photos and other items relating to Stock and
Buttsbury village history. |
| Heritage
or Rubbish? |
| Recently I have become aware that many of
our neighbouring villages have established local archive collections. These
range from storage facilities to a purpose-built building from which
exhibitions can be staged. |
| Stock is a village with a history. Many
of its residents come from families that have lived in the village for several
generations. Equally there are others who are researching their ancestors who
came from further afield. People move on and paper records are thrown out. What
a pity if all the knowledge and ephemera were lost because there was nowhere to
collect it! |
| If you are interested in local history or
family history and would like to be involved in forming a heritage group, let
me know. The group could meet for discussions, have speakers, stage exhibitions
and ultimately find a home for collections of photos, information and artefacts
connected with the village. |
