Tell Us Your Memories of Romsley & Hunnington
We are presently recording oral memories of life in the villages of Romsley and Hunnington in the early 20th century. The recordings will ultimately be available on this site.
Do you have any early memories, photographs, documents, items or facts of life in the villages you could share with us? If so please contact us through the site.
Romsley & Hunnington History Project
The Romsley and Hunnington History Project brings together a group of enthusiasts to transcribe and analyse documents which illuminate the history of our two villages. The results are being made available through this website and may well lead to new Society publications. In particular, the group is transcribing Romsley and Hunnington wills and inventories from the 16th and 17th centuries.During late 2012 the Group will meet in Romsley Village Hall at 2.30pm. on: Wednesday 10th October Wednesday 7th November Wednesday 12th December The Project is funded by the generous bequest of Robert Deeley, for many years a strong supporter of the work of the Romsley and Hunnington History Society.Programme 2014-15
