WINSTER LOCAL HISTORY GROUP INDEX TO PHOTOCOPIES OF WINSTER PARISH MAGAZINES FOR THE YEARS 1888 to 1919 1929 to 1931 1960 1962 COMPILED BY MICHAEL GREATOREX 2005 1 Index compiled by Michael Greatorex, member of Winster Local History Group This Index was a labour of love for Michael, who is a native and long-time resident of Winster (now living out of the village). We all have reason to be grateful to him for his hard work, which enhances tremendously the historical value of this material. These pages are fascinating in their own right as a month-by-month account of the concerns and preoccupations of a Derbyshire village, especially for the period 1888 to 1919 (the later entries are more sporadic). But the Index adds a new dimension, and allows information to be efficiently located and retrieved. Copies of the Magazines and Index are held in the Archive of Winster Local History Group, and a second set of copies can be consulted in the Local Studies Library, Matlock (tel. 01629 580000). The originals have been deposited in the Derbyshire Record Office (same phone number). Geoff Lester Chair, Winster Local History Group April 2005 2 Abbey, Rev.
