About us

Willington Local History Group (WLHG) exists to promote interest in the history of the Bedfordshire village of Willington and of the surrounding area. What we do We host a programme of talks, arrange visits to places of historic interest and hold an archive of historical documents and photographs. We also support the open days at the National Trust Tudor dovecote and stables in the village. When we meet Currently all meetings are online using Zoom. Once it becomes possible again, we aim to return to meeting at  7.30 pm in the Methodist Church in Willington.
