Welcome to the website of Chalford Parish Local History Group, which is designed to provide information on our meetings, on other local history events in the area and to be a source of general information about the history of the Chalford Parish.
The Group was formally constituted in September 2016 after a series of very successful meetings had been held beginning in May of that year. We currently have around 50 members and non-members are welcome at all our meetings.
We also have a Facebook Group here which anyone is welcome to join, with currently just under 700 members. This is a private Group so you will need to join it to see posts.
This website continues to evolve as we add new material so do keep returning or try following some of the links at the top of the page.
Next Meeting
Wednesday 20 November – Researching the History of your House, Hilary Burgess and Camilla Boon.
This meeting is at Christ Church, Chalford, at 7.30pm, NOT at the FL Parish Rooms.
(We promise the church heating will be turned on in good time!)
Camilla and Hilary will be discussing various method for researching the history of a house. They will cover the sources that could be used with examples and then show how these have been used in actual research. Come along and see what you might be able to find out too!
We meet monthly except August and December, normally on the third Wednesday of the month.
Our current programme is here and other local history events which may be of interest are here.
