THE NASSINGTON VILLAGE HISTORY PROJECT
Well I'm delighted to welcome you to the Nassington Village History Project website but where have you been all this time? I bet your first question is 'what's with all the lovely pictures'? Glorious aren't they and all created, from memory I might add, by a lady who lived in Nassington as a mere slip of a girl. Each and every one is a little doorway to a story or a tale so how, I hear you cry, do I unlock that metaphorical door? Glad you asked. A few ways actually...
• Click on the BLUE PLAQUE ROUTE link above (or buy a full colour illustrated guide from Nassington Stores, The Queens Head, L D Hair Design, J. RG. and S. Mould or Elsie's Vintage Tea Room, what could be simpler?)
• Start at the Station House at the bottom of the village
• While away an hour or two learning about all of our history and village tales. Of course it can take as long as you like but, hey, there are pubs and tea rooms along the way. The end point is the Cricket Club as I thought you might need some refreshment after all the walking...
OR
• Drop in at the Village Hall on Church Street on a Monday 10am - 12:30 pm to look at our ARCHIVE.
• Click on the IMAGES link above but that's the merest tip of the iceberg and you won't get to enjoy a cuppa and a biscuit let alone a chat with us now will you?
OR
• Come to a talk in the Village Hall (there are about four a year, five if you're lucky). Usually they run from 3-5pm on a Sunday
• Check what's on in the EVENTS section above.
• Talks cover a range of local topics and include general and social history, some delivered by history professionals, others by local experts but we do reserve the right to cancel or refuse entry if appropriate
• Click on the TALES section above to read full, annotated accounts all about what you’ve already missed.
As you can see we're not just friendly and organised but a busy old bunch too. We also host tours of the village by arrangement so get in touch if you would like to sort something for a group.
So, whether to walk the BLUE PLAQUE ROUTE, look in the ARCHIVE, drop in for a chat or attend an EVENT we hope to see you soon!
(This online project first began in 2019 and is hosted by the Nassington Parish Council. We benefitted enormously from the transfer of information curated by the Willowbrook History Society and have augmented this considerably over the past two years with photographs, data and personal recollections that have been subsequently recorded and archived).
