NEW TO THE WEBSITE
• The Gallery now has many photographs uploaded to it. If you have any photographs, of Stoneleigh or residents, past or present that you would like included in the gallery, please email them to info@stoneleighhistorysociety.org.uk. It would be helpful if you could include a date and some information about the photograph. If there is information that can be provided regarding any of the photographs currently in the gallery, please use the email above. • Stoneleigh and Ashow News from 2010 onwards • Monthly meeting minutes and Chairman reports can now be found on the Annual Programme Page In the Leigh Chapel, Stoneleigh Church. Please go along and have a look. There are also other research materials and previous displays in folders to look at. The 1939 register has also been updated to include some names which were originally redacted. A paper copy of this can also be found in the Leigh Chapel, alongside the display. Were any of your relatives A.R.P wardens, land girls or "doing their bit" for Stoneleigh? The 1939 register may show if they were.Are you a member of a local society who would welcome a speaker? Please contact chair@stoneleighhistorysociety.org.uk for a brochure/further details.
The Society was formed in January 2011 with the principal aim of discovering and recording information about the village's rich history. Since then we have undertaken several projects, largely relating to significant buildings in the village; we have a thriving membership.
New members will be warmly welcomed to our meetings. Please see our Membership section. All meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of the month, at 7.30pm in Stoneleigh Village Hall. Visitors are always welcome. There is a small charge of £3 to include refreshments.
If you are unable to attend meetings we hope that you will find something of interest on our website. We would be delighted to hear from you with any recollections of life in Stoneleigh in times past.
If you are researching your family's history we will be pleased to help, though it may take some time! Please contact the Chairman, Sheila Woolf, in the first instance, if you would like to know more, via chair@stoneleighhistorysociety.org.uk. All research is done by volunteers, and so if we are successful in helping you, a small donation to the society would be appreciated.
