Family History & Genealogy
The Members of the Heritage Group are currently making a library and display of the following information
•
Transcriptions of the Parish Registers
•
Censuses
•
Parish Chest Documents
•
Wills
•
Parish Magazine
•
Memorials Inscriptions
•
Cemetry Records
Much of the work we are doing concerns documenting the lives of the past inhabitants of the village and may
take some years to complete. As sections are completed, the information will be made available in the church.
For people interested in family history, they may either view by appointment or visit on Family History open days.
Volunteers to help with this research are most welcome to take part in this mammoth task so please send an
email to: info@utterbychurch.co.uk if you are interested. The work may involve searching the archives and you
never know what you might find of interest.

Audio Post
Listen to stories about village life, we have gathered reminiscences from people living in the village and have
recorded their narratives. They have told us about aspects of their experiences of which there are no official
records.
Come and listen to these recordings; imagine how it was for them and compare how it is today. There are
personal stories about village life and descriptions of how the village has developed over the years.
