South Witham is an ancient village which was once the site of a Knights Templar Preceptory. The local archaeological group is intending to research the history of the village and record the memories of local residents.
The group is proposing a comprehensive project that focuses mainly on the 19th and 20th century residents and the development of the village.
The group wants to:
produce a book that will be distributed free to every house in the village; compile a children's history CD ROM; carry out an oral history project; hold an exhibition; arrange 12 talks on local history.
