Hanwood Local History Project & Millennium Photographs was held at Hanwood Church Extension

The local history project including local researcher, Michael Webb’s detailed study of 2 famous past residents of Hanwood will be on display in the church extension. Also we have recently been given a Victorian copy of Hanwood Parish register 1559-1763 and copies of the registers from Westbury, Pontesbury and St Chads, Shrewsbury. The Millennium Photographic Project will also be on display.

In November 2005, in the Church Extension, the Local History Project and the Millennium Photographic projects were available for residents to read/see. As always it proved very popular with some residents spending more time than they intended looking through all the history files and looking through volumes of village photographs from the year 2000. One resident even went home for lunch before returning to continue their perusals.

In April 2006 we will again be putting both projects on display, probably in the Church Extension again so keep an eye on local press for details or check the Hanwood & Cruckton Herald website.

If you live in one of the older properties then why not write down everything you know about your house and who has lived in it and send it in to be included in the Houses section of the History Project (don’t forget to include photographs).
