THE NORTH DUFFIELD CONSERVATION AND LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY was formed in the early 1980's by a group of local residents who wished to research the history of the village and to conserve the rural way of life. The society has existed through local self funding, however recently the National Lottery has awarded a grant for certain very specific and exciting projects.
This web site has been created to share the existing local knowledge, to publicise events, record progress, and generally make people aware of what is being done under this collective banner.
A Gallery of selected photographs have been included on this site but we have an archive of thousands of photographs from the late 19thC to date of people, places and events. Many of them need to have the people in the photographs identified for the record so if you think you can help, please get in touch.
We are happy to supply copies of any of our photographs for a small charge to cover printing.
Also, see Draft Village Design Statement.
Please explore this site, digging as deep as you are able, and contact us if you wish to learn more.
