New page

We are a diverse group that meet weekly to keep the records up to date and research the past of the Parish in its changing forms and now recording life as a town.

The Archive used to use the COMMA community archive software, but we are currently in the process of switching to a Wiki-based system. Articles will be published on a continual basis for public access.
