A.G.M. followed by “Delving into the Lighthorne Archives” by Colin Such, Friday 7th March 2025, 7.30 pm, village hall

The Lighthorne archive is continually expanding and contains diverse and interesting material. This presentation explains some of the most interesting items in the archive.

  • Why was the telephone box the subject of a discussion in a 1952 parish council minute book? Why was the local constable called out?
  • View the 1870 hymn and anthem book especially printed in Warwick for St Laurence’s Church.
  • Why was a Lighthorne youth transported to Norfolk Island and Australia in 1844?
  • What did we see when we opened up the Verney vault in 2015?
  • View the original artwork for the 2000 village sign, designed by local resident Tony Hunter.

The answers will be revealed in a general interest presentation by our archivist, Colin Such, who will bring with him several items from the archive.
