Wary about turning up alone, phone our secretary or use the contact form to get in touch and we can arrange a member to make contact with you.

Our present committee is made up of 5 trustees. We share a passion for Local History but each contributes in diverse ways according to their abilities.

Any members who might be interested in supporting the committee can discuss this at any time with a trustee (email or in person). We have room on the committee for more trustees, it is not onerous you just need to have an interest in village life and able to attend monthly committee meetings. We welcome suggestions for events and your support.

.

We are grateful for the support  of local people, both past and present –  without them there would be no SLHG.

We try to arrange at least one visit a year ,to either an older property within the village or an outing to another village to learn about its history. You can see  some photos of our visits. or follow the links to learn more about the places. If you would like to host a visit by group members to your property please contact us. Below are some of the places we have visited, as some are private homes details of the visits are not available on the website.
