Aldermaston History Group
Organisation Member
A local history group for Aldermaston Village. The Aldermaston History Group was founded in February 2018 with funds left over from the village celebrations for the Queen’s 90th birthday. As part of these celebrations a group of enthusiasts had put together an exhibition of local history in the Parish Hall in June 2017 and they all agreed that the leftover funds should support a project to create a village digital archive. The archive is now online at the Group's Digital archive website. Information about the Group itself can be found on the group website.
