Langham Village History Group

The FutureAfter the effort expended over the past two years, members do not want to embark upon anothermajor project immediately but ideas are in the pipeline.At the present time, some members are continuing researching the 17 th century while others are lookingforward or back to make comparisons with what they have already discovered. Work will continue onthe transcription of wills and inventories and of the remaining parish records. The project produceda substantial resource database and this is to be formalised and extended.Some members have chosen completely new topics eg Langham in Wartime and war memorials;village family connections; movement into and out of Langham.As a result of our work with the Exton Papers at LL&RRO, we were asked to support a bid for fundingto complete the cataloguing of these documents, which we gladly did. It is intended that, if the bidis successful, we shall be involved in the work.A number of previously published booklets are to be revised and reprinted and there are ideas forsome new ones.We are grateful for the opportunity which the Heritage Lottery funding afforded us and we shallundoubtedly continue to actively pursue our researches.Three of the eighty-five [A1] display panels created by group members for the exhibition which covered many aspects of 17 th century lifePage 4
