Welcome to the website of Chalford Parish Local History Group, which is designed to provide information on our meetings, on other local history events in the area and to be a source of general information about the history of the Chalford Parish.
The Group was formally constituted in September 2016 after a series of very successful meetings had been held beginning in May of that year. We currently have around 50 members and non-members are welcome at all our meetings.
We also have a Facebook Group here which anyone is welcome to join, with currently just under 700 members. This is a private Group so you will need to join it to see posts.
This website continues to evolve as we add new material so do keep returning or try following some of the links at the top of the page.
Next Meeting
Wednesday 19 February 2025 – Lilyhorn Roman Villa and Local Pre-history, Pete Moore
7.30pm at the France Lynch Church Rooms
Chalford-born archaeologist, Pete Moore will be talking about the Lillyhorn Roman villa, near Bisley, one of Britain’s largest known examples. Pete will discuss the history and function of the site, as well as the wider role it would have occupied at the time.
We meet monthly except August and December, normally on the third Wednesday of the month.
Our current programme is here and other local history events which may be of interest are here.
