The Nassington Village History Project.
Welcome to the Nassington Village History Project website! We hope that you see things here that interest you about our lovely village and that you find time to join in with some of our activities in the future. But first some background information.
The 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 recent months with photographs, data and personal recollections which have been documented and archived. All of this information is available to view in the Village Hall in Church Street and you will get a sense of what we have by going to the History tab. This is merely the tip of the iceberg however! The Archive section there will show you how much more we have and how the data has been organized so, if you would like to take a look for yourself, go to the Contacts tab and get in touch. Failing that just drop in at the Village Hall on a Monday morning between 10am-12:30pm. Not only can you view the archive then but you can also enjoy some refreshments and a chat.
If you'd like to know what we're up to simply scroll down to Upcoming Events to find out about meetings and activities involving not just the Nassington History Project but also our neighbouring villages . Talks in Nassington cover a range of local topics and include general social history too. Each talk is accompanied by a written account of the research done and you can find these under the Tales tab. These events usually occur about three times a year. Unless otherwise stated, access is free of charge and open to all but we do reserve the right to cancel or refuse entry if appropriate. We have also hosted tours of the village and, again, get in touch if you would like to arrange something for a group.
So, whether to take a look in the archive, drop by for a chat or attend a talk or event we hope to see you soon!
