TILNEY
ALL SAINTS LOCAL HISTORY GROUP
 ABOUT US
In early 2006 two or three neighbours were chatting and got around to
talking
about the village,and its stories, people and houses. They expressed regret that many of the older people who “knew everybody” (and
could go back 85+ years)
had now died and many
of their stories
with
them. This led to a consideration
as to whether there would be
interest in the village to set up a local
history
group with the
aim of recording stories and information beforeany more would be lost.
A memo was placed in the January issue of the quarterly
Tilney and
Terrington St. John
Village News and following a wonderful response the Tilney All Saints Local History Group was born! The first meeting was held in April 2006 and since then
the
group have met each
month
except
August.
THE AIM of the Group is to research and record the history
of Tilney All
Saints and to make
it readily available for future generations to reflect upon and
enjoy.
The initial plan is to
build up a picture of the village as it wasin the fifties (as we still
have
folk around who can give their own memories of this time) and compare it
with the
present
(which is also history in the
making). We have also started the collecting and researching of the
very early history before it is lost. The diverse group is made up of people who
live in Tilney All
Saints and
who love it.
They are people who have found some of the threads of
its rich history and want to trace
more and make permanent records for future generations. All are committed to
participate in some way in the varied tasks involved in
research
and recording local history e.g. sharing
their own stories, searching for photos and
information, interviewing, typing,
visiting archives, web
design, writing, administration etc. etc.
