Colmworth and Neighbours History

COLMWORTH AND NEIGHBOURS HISTORY To celebrate its tenth birthday the Colmworth and Neighbours History Society have initiated the publication of a local history journal. The first issue contains papers covering a wide range of subjects from short examples of oral history concerning Colmworth and Keysoe, to the larger pieces of research concerning an extended chase for a family history and an in-depth look at what can be learned of agricultural practices based on the 1901 Census for North Bedfordshire. Place names mentioned in the papers include 45 in north Bedfordshire and 8 in south Huntingdonshire. Rural communities are special places with special histories and we hope that you will enjoy this first flavour.
