There have been many books written about Blewbury and the generations of people who have lived here. Click HERE to be taken to the Blewbury.co.uk site which contains a list of them.

The list includes books written by past and current members of the History Group.

 

There are also many unpublished works, some of which the history group has copies of. You can read these as we painstakingly copy them onto here. If you hover over the Publications button above then you can see the various works already done. Select them to read.

 

Our current project, to be a published series of books, is to research the names of the men & women on the two certificates of service that exist honouring those connected with the village who did war service from 1939-1945. We are looking at their lives in the village prior to service, the details of their service and the return to the village after hostilities ended. We are also including in this work the stories of people now living in the village. The certificates have 106 names on them and it is intended to include approximately twenty stories in each volume with volume 1 to include those eight men named on the village war memorials.

Luckily there are men and women around today whose names appear on the certificates so we are being assisted to a huge degree by them and as Blewbury seems to be a place where living to 90 is commonplace then we are expecting a fantastically detailed record to be laid down for future generations to read.
