Abberley Hall and Clock Tower
Jo Roche gave a talk on 700 years of the history of Abberley Hall to an appreciative group who had braved the weather. Based on detailed research she had undertaken herself, Jo made her talk interesting and very informative.
The Clock Tower at Abberley Hall School is a local landmark that can be seen from six counties and is open to the public this year on 19 and 20 July.
The Society's open evenings are very popular. Watch out for announcements on the website, or use the 'contact us' form to be added to our mailing list.

Cleobury Mortimer High Street
The members of the Society have started a project to pull together all the available records of the premises on Cleobury Mortimer High Street to show the changing face of the street over the years. If you have any information that could be of interest about the history of the High Street, please contact the Society.
Diary of a Hopton Wafers resident
The Society has recently published an anonymous handwritten journal of a resident of Hopton Wafers, covering the first three quarters of the 20th century. It has a great deal of evocative memories and is available as Cleobury Chronicles 9. The area at the bottom of the page shows a short extract from the teen years of the writer.
Cleobury Chronicles
The Society is putting together plans to publish the next edition of the Cleobury Chronicles. This will be the tenth edition since 1991 of what has proved to a very poular collection of articles on topics of local history. If anyone is willing to help put together an article, please contact the Secretary using the 'contact us' form.
