SLHS About Stratford Local History Society

The society came about as a result of a need to make known the history of the town beyond that of just William Shakespeare.

The project started when one of the contributors made a presentation to the local U3a History Group entitled Big Histories: Stratford which highlighted why Stratford as a town has so much nationally, and internationally, significant history independent of it’s famous playwright. Another presentation entitled The Remarkable History Of Stratford followed 9 months later.

Our intentions are fourfold: To gather artefacts, photographs & information about the District Of Stratford-on-Avon. To store these for long term posterity. To organise a museum to display them. To produce a website that will serve all age groups and learning abilities. It’s hoped to complete construction of the site within one year so please bear with us whilst construction is under way. While that happens links are coloured according to the data’s Traffic Light Status.

The bulk of the information will logically be found within the Histories subsection. Do make use of the Geographic and Timeline indexes or the shortcuts at the top right of any page. Contributions are welcome from local people and otherwise.

We will become a registered charity and seek funding to achieve the Objectives as set out below

If you have any questions come to a meeting, as set out on the home page or contact the Webmaster below.
