UPCOMING EVENTS in 2024

Meetings: third Monday of the month, in 2024

We would love to receive any details of our village history that we can record.

If anyone would like to join our committee please get in touch, we only have a few meetings a year and would like to develop the archive.

We designed the new Spring Close information board and paid 2/3 of the cost with a Polish organisation paying the remainder.


Former Rector Percy Hooson’s WW1 War Dairies have been transcribed and published. We assisted Tinwell in their research of the cross he brought back from France. More details: HERE


Membership for 2024

If you would like to join, pay at a meeting or by bank transfer the fee is still £10.

Membership cards will be issued at meetings.

New members please email your address details:Ian.lawson90@gmail.com

Members details will be kept on a database, but only used to send out posts.

Our meetings will change to the third Monday of the Month and will allow members to attend the meetings of the Collyweston Historical & Preservation Society.



Not interested in History don’t worry!

Although the History group generally works behind the scenes collecting and recording our village history, our talks are extremely varied. This year for example we are having talks on Vintage Clothing, Building Crossrail and the founding of the Anna’s Hope Charity. The June meeting features Anglian Water who will do a presentation followed by questions! This talk will be free. We always welcome new members or the casual visitor so pop along.

If there is any knowledge about Spring Close or other village history, please contact us, so that it can be recorded.
