History Group The group, formed in 1984, researches, collects, studies and shares through publications and exhibitions, all aspects of the local and family history of the parish and local area of Long Wittenham. Members meet usually on the third Monday of each month for talks, research meetings or social gatherings. The Annual meeting, held in September, is open to everyone living in the village or with an interest in its history and heritage. The group has a good collection of photographs and has transcribed most of the available parish registers. It has published a booklet ‘The Parish of Long Wittenham 1800-1920’ (currently out of print) and a series of journals, ‘The Chronicle’, with articles on the shops, church, local characters, farming, buildings , the school and village organisations. For more information about the group, please contact the secretary, Janet Haylett on 407382 or email familyhaylett@yahoo.com |
| Twinning Association If you’ve read the signs welcoming you to Long Wittenham, then you will be aware that Long Wittenham is twinned with the Normandy village of Thaon. Located just a 30 minute drive from the ferry port of Caen, the Normandy beaches and the historic town of Bayeux are nearby. The Twinning Association promote Anglo-French relations based on visits to families and they also offer an annual bursary to students studying French. The Association has an active and enjoyable social programme, which is the sole source of funding for entertaining our French guests on their visits. To find out more or to get involved, please contact the Chairman, Robin Sawers on 407515 or email Robin.sawers@dial.pipex.com |
