Local History Group

  • The group has been established for many years and was responsible for producing the book 'Sampford Brett - A Village History', now in its second edition.
  • The group is open to everyone and meets about four times a year in the Village Hall.
  • They have collected archive material over the years, including maps, photographs, press cuttings, taped recordings of residents, old minute books and census data.
  • There are current topics under investigation led by different people who have a particular interest, for example the history of the Courtenay family, who once owned the village.
