About
The aim of the Archive is to capture the rich history of our village and pass it on to future generations by running exhibitions and outreach programmes to build interest and pride in our village.
This includes copying and making available documents of historical interest, assisting with the safe storage of items of historical value, mounting informative displays on various aspects of village life and history and computerizing village records. The Archive is open on a regular weekly basis for visitors and special visits can be arranged through the Secretary outside public opening times.
Up & Coming Events
Welcome to our visitors
We are open as usual on Saturdays 10am - 12pm, or by appointment
This year we aim to connect more closely with our existing Friends and hope to encourage others to join as Friends, volunteers, or simply to come and explore the treasure trove of material we hold at The Banking House.
Exhibitions
Our exhibitions have ranged from Chiddingfold’s many links with ‘rock royalty’, through farming and horticultural heritage, to architectural treasures of the village centre, anniversaries of village institutions like the WI, spotlights on treasures like The Crown pub and Earl Winterton at Shillinglee…
and we have more planned…
