St Ippolyts Local History

The Group was formed in 1990. It aims to promote an understanding and respect for the civil parish and where possible display, publish items for present and future generations to enjoy. We carry out research into the history of the parish and current projects include transcribing the parish registers. We record changes taking place today in the locality as part of the HALH's Recorder Scheme.  We enter community events when asked in The Comet 'Town and Around' section courtesy of the local paper. We also monitor planning applications.
