North Waltham, Steventon, Ashe and Deane History Society - Archive Project

Welcome to the web site of the North Waltham, Steventon, Ashe and Deane History Society - the local history society for these North Hampshire villages. The NWSAD History Society was formed in February 2000 and aims to encourage an interest in local history through our programme of events, research, publications and web site.

We plan to build on the themes of:


The evolution of local landscapes and buildings
Historical events with local impact
Lives and occupations of villagers past and present
But of course we are constantly changing and adding new topics and would be interested in your 'Historical' passions to add as well!

Along with our monthly programmes we hope to continue work on previous projects, such as recording an 'Oral History' about our villages and its people.

We meet in the North Waltham School Hall at 8pm on the third Thursday of most months. So does this sound interesting, then why not come along and join in.
