Historical Research

Since the Heritage Group started in 2000 we have been engaged in a number of projects, many with a historic theme linked to the village of Great Bowden, its parish and local area. 

 

In addition to the group activities members have carried out their own research and attempted to answer questions raised. We would be happy to share these short articles with you, and would love to receive your own comments or ideas.
