The Coombe Keynes History Project
At our annual Harvest Supper in September 2023, we launched the Coombe Keynes History Project.
Our aims are to:
- collate, interpret & display information on the history of the church and wider village community
- develop a ‘living history’ strategy to continue record life in the village future generations
Our end results should be:
- a permanent exhibition in the church featuring information boards and labelled items of interest
- an accompanying History Section of the website to expand
- a record of the ‘living history’ of the village over the last fifty years
- continual updates to the website capturing history as it happens!
The articles below represent the History Project’s current status. It’s a work in progress and we aim to continue to develop these sections as we gather more information.
