The Stalbridge History Society are a group of like-minded persons, from all walks of life and
of all ages, who wish to learn about the heritage of our town.

The society has existed since 2012 when a small group of Stalbridge residents led by newcomer Jane Daggett met to discuss their mutual interest in the origins and history of the town.
Jane had discovered the books of local author Irene Jones and wanted to learn more.
By 2016 the small group of six or seven members had grown and during that year a committee was formed and a constitution was approved: membership was greatly increased, the Society’s first publication, The History Trail, was underway and Events were being planned. The Society is now a not-for-profit Community Group governed by a Constitution.

Our focus is on local history rather than tracing ancestry but sometimes the two paths cross, especially if we can fill a gap in our town’s story or where there is a danger of losing valuable
information. Whatever the enquiry, we will try to help if we are able.

We work alongside our colleagues at the Stalbridge Archive Society.
