Guarlford History Group

Publications

The Guarlford History Group has published two books about the history of the village.

The first book, "The Guarlford Story", was started at the suggestion of the Parish Council, as a Millenium project, and built upon the work of Joan Bradshaw of Grange Farm who had researched and collected a vast amount of material about the village. Publication of the book in 2005 was made possible by a grant from the Elmley Foundation and sponsorship by the Local Heritage Initiative.

As people came forward with more memories and photographs it was decided to produce a second book, "The Guarlford Scene" which was published in 2008.

A web site was also developed to which further memories can be added.
