Hathern Local History Society was formed in 1980 for the purpose of recording and preserving the history of the village. The Society has gathered a collection of more than 500 photographs depicting the village and its people over the last 120 years. We have many accounts of life in the village, gained from interviews with life-long Hathern residents. The Society has published three books about the village's history, containing stories and photographs, with total sales of more than 2500. Two of the books are out of print, but the latest: "Further Pictures of Old Hathern" can be obtained from Hathern Post Office, price £3. Two audio-visual presentations have been produced, using projected images, graphics and recorded commentry from local people: "Domesday+900", in line with the national initiative to record life in Britain during 1986. "This is Hathern", showing life in Hathern over the the last century, comparing the village in bygone times to the present day. These productions have been shown many times in the village, and have always attracted large audiences. The Society's
current project is a book of memories of life in Hathern during
WW2, which will contain accounts from people resident in the village
during that period. We would be interested to hear from anyone
who could help us with this. |
