Autumn Meeting – A very well attended meeting took place on the 12th October and we are grateful to the presenters and society members for making it a success.
The winners of the 2022 front garden awards and 2022 photo competition were announced and full information follows below. Our thanks go to everyone involved in helping with these activities.
Victorian Heritage of Elvetham –The Society is delighted to promote committee member Andy Morris’s latest book which is available to purchase at £8.00 per copy. It is a companion publication to the previous book on the Victorian Heritage of Hartley Wintney. Andy has again made use of the tithe map for Elvetham, published in 1839, together with the seven census returns between 1841 and 1901 to document and provide a picture of Victorian life in the old ecclesiastical parish of Elvetham before it was incorporated into the present-day civil parish of Hartley Wintney. A series of maps have been drawn and compared with post Victorian Ordnance Survey maps to illustrate how surprisingly little Elvetham has changed since the Victorian period. We are sure that this will be an interesting read and perhaps a suitable Christmas present! To order your copy this can be done via the website.
