Welcome to the Willington Local History Group website. It is designed to increase understanding of the local area, its buildings, its people, and its history - and so provide enjoyment of our village’s heritage. On the site you will find a wealth of information about the local history of this Bedfordshire village; details of how we have produced an information board, timeline panels and a heritage trail leaflet; and information about the on-going project work to digitise the archives.
You can also discover how the Willington Local History Group provides guided walks and illustrated talks throughout the year.
If you register as a user of this site - using the link in the top right corner of this page - you will find there are also ways for you to participate in recording and updating the historical information presented here.

MeetingsPlanned meetings and information about past meetings
Regular meetings are held at the Methodist Chapel. We organise talks covering subjects with some historical connection to our area and these are presented either by members of the group or by visiting expert speakers. Refreshments are provided, giving everyone an opportunity for social interaction between members of the group and any visitors.
Annual membership currently costs £6.00 per year, and runs from September through to August of the following year and entitles you to attend meetings free of charge. Visitors are welcome to attend any meeting for the modest charge of £2.00 for each visit.
