Welcome to the Christchurch Local History Society
Our Society is dedicated to the study of the past of this ancient borough and the preservation of all aspects of our surviving heritage. We are unusual in having an archive collection to manage, as well as all the other aspects of a thriving organisation, including regular talks and events, and a programme of projects and initiatives to further our cause.
Below is an engraving of Church Street made by a famous resident, Benjamin Ferrey, in 1832. The Membership page shows you how the street looked almost 100 years later. |
