Staunton Harold Heritage Project
Location: Leicestershire
Staunton Harold has a rich and distinctive history. Much remains to be discovered and placed on record in accessible form. Staunton Harold Heritage Group has been working since 2001 and now wishes to extend its work and skills to include more members of the community and to share the findings locally and nationally. The group intend to do this by investigating aspects of local archaeology, population and land use (past & present) and to survey vernacular buildings in Staunton Harold Parish.
The group will conduct research in record offices, museums and libraries. They will also photograph and conduct architectural surveys of vernacular buildings. Field walking and geophysical surveys will help local people learn more about local archaeology. Oral histories will be collected and form part of a local oral history archive. The group will collate and create and index of published and unpublished sources relating to the Parish. Training sessions will be held to enhance the skills of the Group and the wider local community.
