What the charity does
Our study area offers, to those with a specific interest in genealogy, access to information not available elsewhere. As well as family history, it is equally of value to those with an interest in general history of the local area. Resources include photographs, maps and a library of local publications (many out of print) including books and local papers. Also see our second hand bookshop.
