Over the years members of the group have been privileged to visit various sites, both within Stowupland and in the surrounding villages and towns.These visits as well as being enjoyable have helped us to understand more about our village and the people who have called it home.
The group came together following a consultation within the village about what clubs and activities local people were interested in, as part of the 2010 neighbourhood plan.
Read a report on the Origins of Stowupland Local History Group that was written by Marion Haris in 2019.
Posters were put up around the village to advertise the first meeting to introduce the committee and to find out whether local people had already done their own research.
