Willoughby Society
The Willoughby Society was formed in 1962. It's objects were:
- The beautification of the village
- Research into the history of the village
- Recording the natural history of the village and a general concern for the local environment
- The welfare of village inhabitants
- To foster social life and friendships
Today the Society arranges a programme of talks on subjects of interest to villagers, contributes to projects that enhance the village and it's facilities, and arranges regular social events. In addition members research the village history and preserve and expand the village archive of documents, photographs, and other media.
Nature Notes
Since 1977 the Society has been recording items of interest about the village's flora, fauna, and weather. These records can be viewed from this page.
Willoughby's History
A brief outline of the village's history can be found on the "About" page of this site. Further information can be gleaned from the material in the village archives (see below).
The Willoughby Society Archive project
The Willoughby Society has collected and stored many documents, photographs, and a few artefacts, relating to the village and it's residents. In the autumn of 2008 an archive project was started with two objectives:
- to capture all of this material so that it could be stored and accessed on computer.
- to make the material easily available to as many people as possible via the internet.
Although there is more to be done most material is now captured and can be browsed on this site. Click here to go to the archives
Seperate galeries of recent events are added to this page and listed on the right. These images will be added to the main archive in due course.
