Please Can You Help Us?

A group of us are starting to plan an Edgehill Visitor Hub to be based in St Peter’s Church in Radway.

We want to tell the story of the Battle of Edgehill and its effect on the surrounding area and on the people of the time.

We want to gather together, and preserve, artifacts and information on the battle and to share stories in a lively and creative way through displays, film, talks, events and hands-on experience.

Most of all we are hoping to bring alive the experiences of the local people, both during and after the battle itself. To do this, we need to find people with long-standing family links to the area, and to uncover research into the experiences of those involved in the battle and the local residents.

Can you trace your family back to 1642?

Do you have anything that you could share with us to take this project forward?

If so, we would really like to hear from you. Please telephone Brian Douthwaite on 01926 640314
