Local History Research
In addition to members undertaking individual research work, there are two teams working on major projects covering census returns and medieval documents. If you are interested in doing research, please contact our Research Co-ordinator.
Research articles are published annually and on-line copies of previous research can be found under the heading "Journals".
Books and other relevant documents not available on-line are listed under the heading "Publications".
