There are a number of villages in South Lakes and North Lancashire that have thriving Local History Societies. It would also seem that in the past there has also been a similar interest in Natland.
It has occurred to me that there might be sufficient interest in Natland & Sedgwick to attempt to establish a Local History Society for Natland & Sedgwick.
I would envisaged that such a society might have three objectives:
Ø To arrange a series of lectures of local history topics each year.
Ø To research the history of the two villages in the context of the times and events of the surrounding area.
Ø Offer help and encouragement to anyone who is researching any aspects of local history.
Should anyone be interested in such a project, I would be more than happy to discuss how we might take this idea forward.
