Story of Piddlehinton

Concerned about the continual loss of social history in communities generally, in 1987 the Piddlehinton History Group was formed to gather and record for posterity as much detailed local information as possible about their village. So much material was gathered that two separate exhibitions were held, in 1988 and 1998, and it was decided in 1990 to publish some of the information in the form of a book.

The “Story of Piddlehinton” was published in 1999 by the Piddlehinton Village History group, following a very successful public exhibition the year before and which has been repeated since. An expanded and updated version of the book from 1998 can currently be found on the previous Piddle Valley website, containing amendments, updates, additional text and photographs.
