Cheswardine Village Hall Archives

The old plan chest in the back room at the village hall is gradually being filled with archives from and about the village and surrounding area.

These can be viewed under supervision by contacting Michael Hendry at [email protected]  or by mobile phone at 07966 464091.

The initial collection consists of 35 maps in different scales, dating from 1833 to 1970, some of which are quite fragile.

Gradually more archives will be incorporated into the collection.

If you wish to donate any archives to the collection please get in touch.
