Blagdon Local History Society
About the Society
Description and activities
A group of people interested in history with a particular interest in
Blagdon and surroundings. There are monthly open meetings/lectures for
the membership and others
Research at Record Offices, Libraries, private archives etc., transcribing
old documents, recording oral histories, formation and maintenance of
a database and library, visits to places of interest,
regular talks by visiting experts, field walking, and in 2004 we published our first volume of a History of Blagdon, and have continued the series as our knowledge grows.
We would welcome involvement by more people, everybody knows something
or has old records and we would welcome the opportunity to copy anything
of interest and share our knowledge.
